Hang loose, stay cool, and don't forget your psychic humor., 22 November 2008
7/10
Author: lastliberal from Florida

The suspense never stopped in this film. I sat the whole time on the edge of my seat wondering just what was going to happen next.

Two guys, Jim (Todd Allen) and Brandon (Stephen Nichols) were lifelong friends. Did they have a falling out over Linda (Tawny Kitaen)? They seem to hate each other now, and you always had it in the back of your mind that this had something to do with what was going on.

Was there really some evil spirit trying to get out, or was it simply evil in the form of jealousy and hate. The fact that a police detective (Burke Byrnes) was always hanging around added to the suspense.

There isn't a lot of gore in the film; it was just eerie suspense that rose to a climax that was really great.

As an added bonus we got to see a whole lot of Ms. Kitaen as she was attacked in the shower. Yum.
