One of the worst of the worst. Early 80's mediocrity., 13 August 2004
Author: insomniac_rod from Noctropolis

Boring early 80's ghost film. In the likes of "Poltergeist" this movie tried to copy the winning elements that made the fore-mentioned film a classic in the genre.

Cheesy f/x, bad acting, and confusing scenes make this a terrible horror movie. The "strangers" appearance is a good moment as the scene is kind of creepy but then the movie fails to create scary moments. Watch "Poltergeist II" instead of this crap.

Patrick Duffy is the best thing about it no doubt about it.

2/10. At least it made a little effort.
