FIEND 1980 (RETROMEDIA)

Another good Don Dohler effort.

A spirit enters a graveyard and reanimates a corpse that must kill others to maintain it's human looks. The corpse takes the name of Mister Longfellow, a music teacher and moves into the suburbs of Baltimore where the nosey neighbors suspect all is not right with their neighbor.

Don Leifert does an excellent job as Longfellow as does Richard Nelson as his neighbor who begins to suspect Longfellow of several murders in the area.

Filmed for about $6000, this is a great example of what can be done with talent instead of billions of dollars. Dohler gets his friends and family to help make a film and it is very creative an there are several scenes you won't soon forget, including the ending. Retromedia brings us this fun little film on a ddouble bill with the other Dohler gem "The Alien Factor". Highly Recommended.
