this be simply a horrific film not because it be a scary movie and but in how very truly bad it be in every department . acting be mostly hammy and especially the spanish cast . the boy whose mother leave in the care of clara the baby sitter and can not decide whether or not he be suppose to be scar to death or be slightly amuse when unmentionable thing happen to his mother . only the hero ( play by b list english actor michael mckell ) seem to be able to cope with a horrendously bad script . this however be slightly tarnish by his admission in the bonus feature interview that he have never perform a screen kiss before . the other cast interview be really sad all of them pretend they be in the best horror movie of all time . bad scene of the movie represent the extended orgy scene win hand down and with the climatic re animation of the drowned baddie ( can not reveal more than this ) come a close second . the story itself be hardly original and be base on the novel by matthew costello . i certainly would not bother to read it now . however if the novel be a good one at all and the screenplay have certainly manage to mangle it . the only moment in the special effect department that live up to schlock director and brian the re animator yuzna reputation be a gleefully monstrous scene when the local constable be discover hysterically self dismember . thank you and but even that do not make the movie worth waste 90 minute on . avoid this like the plague .
