Trivia
Reportedly, actors Alice Krige and Craig Wasson were "were knocked out at the idea of sharing this thriller" with the four veteran Hollywood actors they would be working with. See more »Goofs
When David plunges through the window, he has a large brown towel wrapped around him, but in the subsequent shots of him falling immediately after he is naked, and the towel is nowhere to be seen - if it had somehow come off it should be seen drifting down through the air. See more »Soundtracks

Four elderly men members of The Chowder Society fall victim to a vengeful ghost (Alice Krige) who seems to be connected to something they did decades ago and who once dated one of the member's son (Craig Wasson) from beyond the grave. Old fashioned, entertaining film features possibly the best cast ever gathered to star in a horror film. The film itself has a very atmospheric feel to it and generates some suspense, but never really scares the auidence.
Rated R; Nudity, Sexual Situations, Violence, and Profanity.
