ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Sam Panico Susan Nomed (Playboy Bunny Bobbie Bresee, Ghoulies) was only ten-years-old when her mother died. During the funeral, she ran from her family to the mausoleum, where the fog rolls in and a demon calls out to her.Now, twenty years later, she's the heiress to her family's fortune. She's also married to Oliver Farrell (Marjoe Gortner, Starcrash), who is never home, but everything seems fine. However, Susan is starting to go stir crazy, flirting with the gardener, who exudes pure filth. That's when we learn about the second part of Susan's inheritance: an ancient curse.Soon, Susan is turning into a green-eyed demon and having sex with plenty of men, then murdering them in all manner of interesting ways. Want an example? How about her breasts eat a man's chest and leave him a bloody mess in the bathtub?LaWanda Page of TV's Sanford and Son shows up as Elsie the maid and you'll be shocked to see how racist her role is. Actually, you won't. We just watched the remake of Thirteen Ghosts (with the early 2000s title that seemed trite even back then, Thir13en Ghosts) and the black maid in that film acts just as stereotypically in that film.Also, if you're wondering how good the script is, Susan's last name is demon backward.This movie reminds me of late-period Fulci, as its look is very Italian. It's filled with gore, nudity and a nonsensical plot, but there are times in your life when that's what you're looking for.

videorama-759-859391 Almost impossible to find, even back in 97, save for one video shop, I sat down to this cheesy horror (no potential 'Exorcist') and found it quite a lot of fun. The make up is surprisingly very good, as is Bresee's performance, as the beautiful tormented Susan, who as a young girl made the mistake of wandering into the rat infested mausoleum. Now a full grown woman, and you should see this broad naked, bedding two victims, a young sex crazed electrician and horny gardener who provides a nice twist at the end, our Susan, the possessed, starts adopting violent tendencies. Her eyes light up with emerald green, and she puts her telekinetic powers to work, when angrily provoked. One instance comes when a jealous drunkard, gets burned up horribly in his car. Her successful (just check out where they live) husband, Oliver, played with great calm by legendary acting great, Marjoe Gortner, senses changes in her, and enlists the help of a old family doctor (Norman Burton) who knew Susan's aunt, and the secret she took with her to the grave. There's some scenes, that are so serious, it's hard to keep a straight face, and this is what this b grader does, takes itself too seriously. But this was one of the things I loved about it, as well as Ms Bresee's, you know. This drive in horror that played alongside Basket case is a lot of fun and a horror fan's delight, with 80's unrealistic violence, and impressive ending score. Speaking of scores, one weird moment, I couldn't get my head around, has an unfitting playful (not scary) music score, that has the black maid (Le Wanda 'Sandford and Son' Page) who takes to drinking when it all becomes too much, or if seeing some out of the ordinary s..t, hotfoot out of a room. Please Explain.

slayrrr666 "Mausoleum" is a fairly entertaining and enjoyable supernatural horror.**SPOILERS**Following a traumatic childhood, Susan Farrell, (Bobbie Bresee) is having a perfectly normal life, according to her aunt Cora Nomed, (Laura Hippe) psychologist, Dr. Simon Andrews, (Norman Burton) and should be left alone. Despite her growing concerns that she's falling into a trap that the family is cursed to become involved in, her husband Oliver, (Marjoe Gortner) isn't too worried. When they start to notice that those around them are becoming involved in strange accidents, he finds something wrong with her cavalier attitude towards the mysterious events. Eventually realizing that it's something to do with her and their unique family history, he discovers that the mausoleum where her mother is buried led to her being possessed by a strange demon as a child, and is now out to destroy all those who anger her. Getting a handle on the situation, they try to put an end to her rampage before more people disappear.The Good News: This here isn't all that bad, and has some really great points about it. The film's at it's best when it goes for the cheesy 80s creature feature tactics. It's obvious that there's a rubber creature here for the possession, and while it's obvious, it still looks really great. With the glowing eyes, distorted features and much more in here that comes from the demonic facial features leave a great impression in viewers. There's also a lot of cheese to come from the film's deaths, which here are packed with several really cheesy sequences here which come from that sense of cheese. The makeup effects are good, with a scene involving the girl's breasts turning into snarling faces really standing out. During the early parts where the demonic happenings are confined to the different showings of that power. The attack on the house-guest, which comes complete with flowing fog, glowing lights and much more give it a really nice, cheesy feel. Aside from the cheese, it's also pretty creepy, as the beginning is one of the creepiest Gothic sequences around, and is backed up with a reprisal at the end which works wonders. The film also has a couple of really fun sequences, such as the aforementioned attack on the house-guest, as well as a couple of other attacks throughout the film which work incredibly well. The first one in the cemetery's mausoleum is pretty great, as is the set-up to the gardener one and the film's highlight, the showdown in the mall which is just superb. That one is fun, high action and much more in here which makes it seem really enjoyable. That also helps out the film's gore quotient, which here is pretty high. There's a lot more than expected for this kind of film, and there's some good stuff in this. There's a face scratched up with claws, an impaling through the chest with an umbrella, a garden trowel repeatedly stabbed in the head, being forced to scratch eyes out and having their chest bitten open and ribs separated, among other facets of gore. There's also the film's high amount of nudity, which is well-covered by those who are well-prepared to deliver it, and in some cases is fully utilized to it's best potential. These here are all apart of what makes the film work.The Bad News: There really isn't a whole lot to this one, and what little flaws there is aren't that bad. The biggest issue is the highly-unbelievable story that says that nearly all the family members are unable to understand the curse, and that it's persisted for so long without anything being done about it is a little hard to believe. That it's the subject of a diary entry that anyone in the family can access makes it all the more ridiculous, and with it being a fairly important part in the utterly ridiculous plot, that one stands up as the film's biggest issue. The cheese level could be something that won't sit well with some, and it's not entirely free of pretty lame scenes that aren't even in the slightest realistic, but picking apart the plot is what's going to be the biggest issue with this one.The Final Verdict: With a lot going for it and only a few problems, this is a pretty entertaining entry that is really enjoyable. Give it a chance if you enjoy these kinds of entries or find it interesting, while those who aren't really into these kinds of films should heed caution, as the flaws can be accentuated greatly in that case.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Full Nudity and a mild sex scene

suspiria10 The Nomad family is cursed. Every first daughter of a new generation is damned to be possessed by a demon that really wants to raise hell. Orphan Susan is sent to live with her overbearing Aunt after the deaths of her parents. The Aunt keeps a close eye on Susan for signs that she will succumb to the nasty familial curse. Her young years go by relatively quietly but after she marries the demon comes put to play and nobody is safe.'Mausoleum' may seem like an average ordinary slasher on top (lord knows this time period was chock full of them) but the supernatural slant gives it a leg up on the competition. Surprisingly the film even manages to generate a halfway decent atmosphere and an occasionally creepy moment or two (young Susan all green demonic eyes aglow). I say check it out if you're a fan of 80's horror or on the lookout for an obscure gem.
