    Dumb Fun
    A college student is attacked by a handful of men on campus and, with the help of her friend, she calls upon a necromancer to help her get revenge on them.

    Necromancer can seem almost painfully low budget at times. There's just enough of a budget to almost deliver the gory goods, but it always seems to cut away just before it's going to get good, leaving it feeling more like an edited for TV version of a much gorier film. There's plenty of nudity however (including a lot of surprise male nudity).

    Acting is about what you'd expect from a film of this sort. It's never brilliant, but it's not terrible either. Russ Tamblyn seems to be having fun as a perverted theatre professor. Necromancer still offers the viewer a lot of fun along the way and it moves at a decent clip.
