Imagine, if you will, a movie about a demonically possessed script? Hmm, this is a movie that begs for the opportunity for me to go back in time to meet the makers of this hilariously inept piece of junk, to see what (if anything) was on their minds when they made this. Talk about a demonically possessed script. If this was made to be a "serious" horror movie then someone was seriously deluded. Attempts at surrealistic imagery, if that's what the goal was, are just out of left field. In a dream sequence, you see, in soft focus, a woman in a white gown kneeling by a pond, and then a race car drives up? WOW! The complicated explanation for where this so-called evil script came from is so ridiculous that it defies all logic whatsoever. As this film stumbles along, we bounce from one unconnected event to another (as in, where did THIS come from?) And tell me, when was the last time you saw a "steamy" sex scene in a movie where the woman did not remove her undergarments? I'm sure that if these folks hadn't been so focused on "safe sex" they would have noticed tell-tale warning signs like a fog machine working overtime and the walls bulging in. And best of all, this has a "killer" rock band, all bad 80's big-hair metal, that appears in the forest, thankfully quite briefly. I think if Ed Wood Jr. had been alive when this was made, he would have been proud to think that someone was following in his footsteps.
