Retro 1970's horror film is worth a look

dbborroughs

Crazed film director escapes from the asylum as he's watching his long lost horror film leaving a trail of 70 bodies behind him.About the same time a screening of the film is scheduled for a midnight showing and strange things begin to happen, the killer seems to be walking loose in the theater and the killings are being shown as part of the film. Retro horror film is a good little horror film that is the sort of thing that might have been made back in the 1970's.(Though it does seem to echo Lamberto Bava's Demons) Creepy at times the film is operating with its own sense of dream logic which makes its ability to scare limited. since we can't always see how it gets from A to B (though sometimes were way ahead of the film.) Flaws aside the film is worth a look on cable or as a rental. Its not great but it is enjoyable.

score 6/10
