i can not express enough just how bad this film be . first of all what a waste of some legendary star although they be quite old and pretty unconvincing . fred astaire and well i guess he must have owe some one a big favor a this be his last film role . the script be a mess and the film seem terribly draggy . i imagine maybe if i saw this back when it come out ( 1981 ) i might have think it be decent . however see so many actual good horror film and this be one of the bad . the only real convince anything in this mess be the very young and lovely sort or of creepy alice krige . the main young character be try to act the best he could but be utterly terrible . i wasn not sure how much of it be from his lack of skill or the lack of a comprehend able script and but either way he be just plain bad . don not watch unless you want to see a bunch of old guy be somewhat scared .
