The prologue and the scenes after the film are clearly pasted on, as it appears that Christopher Lee has no idea what film he has been hired for.
The film that follows is a lot of fun, and a typical example of Grindhouse cinema. Nonsensical, bloody and sleazy. Just as it should be.
The story is not much, and reminded me a bit of Patrick. But personally I liked this one better.
Very nice effects and original murders, only that whole Meatcleaver Massacre does not return in the film. No murders with a meatcleaver and it is not a real massacre either (3 murders by the deranged murderers and 3 by the ghost Morak, who was summoned by the professor).

3.5*

After having to listen to a very boring story by Lee in the beginning, there are no real highlights afterwards. The murders look terribly amateurish in this cheap work. The film is still bearable in the end. A title sometimes speaks more than the film itself, this is one of those. I don't give it more than a 2.0.

Seen on the blu-ray from 101BlackLabel.

What on earth have I been looking at.. It's a good thing I'm saving this line of 101, otherwise it would have gone straight into the trash.

1 star for Christopher Lee who did the prologue and epilogue, although this has nothing to do with the film. It looks like they got this as a deleted scene from the Hammer Vault and pasted it in.

Quickly forget this monstrosity.
