    See this movie!!!
    This is one of the scariest movies I ever saw! I saw it when I was around 10 and am still scared of it today. It concerns a group of college kids fixing up an old mansion. They have no idea that the former owner is still in the house. Breaking her tombstone in the backyard causes her to awaken and she begins to kill them in grizzly ways. But, they don't stay dead. They soon turn into murdering zombies. Worst of all, there is no way at all out of the house. Be warned, there is a decent amount of gore. I know I closed my eyes when I first saw it at a few scenes and I NEVER do that with horror movies. Also, don't pay any attention to the Troma label on the tape. They had NOTHING to do with the actual production of the movie, it's just under their label. So this is nothing at all like the movies they usually make. If you're in the mood for a good scare, rent this movie immediately!
