Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The mood and atmosphere tend to win out over the sillier concepts, building up macabre moments and bloody deaths that make the overall effort unexpectedly entertaining.

Audience Member Better than average offering has mysterious fashion model aunt arriving in teen's life shortly after her mother's death and coinciding with a series of brutal traumas to her friends. Escalator accident was one I hadn't seen before. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good b grade 80's thriller. Had never heard of this one, or most of the cast in it, so was pleasantly surprised. After teenage Amy's mother dies, the estranged aunt she never knew she had enters her life. Felice is beautiful and exotic, but there just may be more to her than meets the eye...and soon a series of tragic events start to happen to people Amy is close to. Genuinely creepy and compelling viewing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member When auntie F. comes to town, there will surely be blood--Not Scary, Just Bad!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Its the bat-shit crazy little story about an African demon curse passed between women via rather unsettling incesty methods. Typical 80s madness with a heaping helping of camp and a dash of sex. Check it out bitches. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I love bug zappers, that would have been great in Men in Black http://stagevu.com/video/dvrxtymyezsb Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a great film, but a surprisingly watchable little supernatural tale of a young girl's estranged aunt who turns up to claim her soul or life force or some such nonsense. I wasn't expecting much, but this turned out to be a lot of fun, even if it may drag on in that final act. Worth a rental. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
