I guess that I don't have to introduce Andy Milligan. He's the king of the drive-in's and schlockfests. This flick is one of his later attempts but is still an ultra low budget. It contains wooden acting and bad editing. Almost none of the actors made it into another film, do I have to say more. And for a flick from 1984 it's really slow, made me think I was watching a sixties exploitation. The effects used, if you can say that, are really no-budget effects. Windows closing itself, things dropping or moving, disappearing tools, you know, wired stuff. You can easily see that there wasn't money for extra lights. The just used the light on the camera. If you still don't know what I mean just watch after 30 minutes how a knife goes into a hand, OMG. It's a typical Milligan flick but in some ways it's watchable. But still you will have big laugh, just take a look at the ghost appearing, all done by editing like they did with the flicks from the 30's! It's all done so cheap. Suddenly, by editing, someone sees a ghost in a mirror, but you can easily see that she stands in the room. Here and there it's okay, like the throat slicing and the slaughtering of the burglars but overall, it's a Milligan schlock. Just take it as it is.
