BEYOND EVIL 1980 (TROMA)

This is an odd little film, and it does have some charm.

John Saxon and the gorgeous Lynda Day George star as a couple who move into a huge mansion and find in haunted by the demonic ghost of the woman who used to live there.

The spirit wants to take possession of George's character of Barbara Andrews. Her busband Larry is slow to find out what is going on until it is almost to late to stop it.

The effects are of a low quality and they hamper the film a bit, but hey, when one has a low budget, one doesn't have many choices. Lynda looks stunning as she is slowly possessed and that aspect of the stopry is handled very well.

There are some great scenes including an accident on a construction site that crushes a man to death. This is hardly a new concept for a movie plot, but it does move along well and the score by Pino Donaggio is very good. It fits the movie well.

The rest of the cast includes Michael Dante, Mario Malino, David Opatoshu, Janice Lynde and Chuck Hicks.

If you're looking for nothing but fun and a few chills, then this is for you, if not you'd better skip it. Did I mention Lynda looks great!!!???
