Haunted (1977)
1/10

Warning: Spoilers
Here's a movie about a telephone booth in a cemetery. Today's generation probably wouldn't know what a phone booth is?

The start of this movie wouldn't stand a chance in today's sensitive climate. I won't give a detailed description or cancel culture will do to me what they're doing to the naked lady on the horse here.

This is a '76 release according to the start credits. Video cover says '77.

OK? I'm confused already.

At the start some sweaty padre was conducting a sermon in the wild West and now he's a 70's pharmacists?

This mellow harmony music must have been LSD inspired? I bet the soundtrack for this movie shook the richter scale to its core?

Where'd the naked horse lady go?

So a telephone booth is indeed delivered, and installed, to a lifeless graveyard. What's it run on - solar?

Good Lord, what have I gotten myself into? I've been ambushed tonight with this one. This is definitely NOT a Halloween movie recommendation.

Some over the hill heffer is fantasizing about the past and gives a blow-by-blow description about her favorite toy boy. Then a big boned "roomy at the hips" British slag shows up wearing a painting canvas and leeches onto that shaggy haired Danny from Caddyshack. (Any fool can deduce that she's the adulterer from the start of the movie who was naked on the horse.) Oh brother, this is stupid. A car just drove over a high plain and exploded for no reason.

Jeez, are they gonna start quoting Shakespeare, or something now?

The battleaxe starts fantasizing about the past again with juicy revelations while some hairy slob appears but keeps shape shifting into a young ripped stud then back into a papa bear and so forth. But what has this to do with the telephone in the graveyard?

The Night Stalker, or Danny, commits his mother to a looneybin and you should hear this groovy music to accompany this scene.

I haven't got a clue what this movie's about, or where it's heading?

Two young brothers live on the set of Bonanza doing odd jobs and maintenance work with some alcoholic uncle who's unstable, and hampers their every move with drunken verbal confrontations. Then a British prostitute shows up and apparently she's the reincarnation of the naked horse lady from the beginning of the movie, who's back to slay nobody as she's not really the naked horse lady? Do I have that right?

Hang on a minute! There's no impaled woman in the movie like on the video cover!

This is just an hour and 20-minutes of pure BS you'll never get back.

Someone must have felt like making a movie but they forgot to write a storyline!

I'll give Haunted 1/10 for the horrible actor going up in flames at the end.

This movie owes me an apology!

That phone booth had NOTHING to do with the movie at all.

You'd be better off watching God Monster of Indian Flats.
