      ellis f 'Mausoleum' belongs in a grindhouse or a drive-in theater surrounding, which is where it's most enjoyable. The acting is horrible, the score isn't much better, and the '80's practical effects are subpar even for its time. However, double it up with other grindhouse 'specials' such as 'Piranha' (1978) or 'Humanoids From the Deep' and then you'll have a wickedly good time. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of the most deliciously awful movies I have ever seen! It has everything! Horrible acting, cheesy bad musical score, jarringly poor ADR, terrible effects and makeup, and (of course) the most nonsensical plot twist at the end! The movie tells the story a woman who is a member of a family whose women are cursed with demonic possession. Their family name is Nomed (Ha! What a clever, tricksy movie). Once Susan is possessed, she is stricken with green, glowing eyes and a constant unresistable urge to expose her breasts as she tries to kill pretty much everyone else in the film. I cannot express how much fun this truly awful movie is to watch. I constantly cycled from cringing to confusion to pointing at the screen and laughing. Plus it stars Marjoe Gortner (the former 4 year-old Pentecostal revival preacher - yep! That's a fact!). He gave up preaching to use his gift of a total lack of acting talent to bring us magical films like this one. Seriously, call up some friends that love to laugh, open some adult beverages, and fire this one up! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this in the theater opening weekend. By the end of the film the audience was laughing so hard and doubled over as they tripped out the doors. Great film for a Bad Movie Night. Would make a good MST3K film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member More fun than most period horror films of its' kind, Mausoleum's above-average creature effects are bolstered by Bobbie Bresee's "committed" lead performance, and the outrageous/borderline racist character of Elsie. Also notable for the appearance of murderous demon breasts. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Yowza! It's a pretty bad movie, but I've got to give it points for being soo damn gonzo. It's at least unique. You're not often going to run into flicks that offer up what this does. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/19 Full Review Audience Member I watch some crap, but this was too much even for me! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Martin Unsworth Starburst It might not always hit the mark, being fairly pedestrian in its pace, but it has plenty to recommend. Rated: 4/5 Dec 18, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
