    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Candace Hilligoss, star of the original 1962 movie, saw it and hated it. She warned that if anyone ever sees the words "A film by Adam Grossman" in the beginning, they should run for the exit. She also blamed producer Wes Craven for putting his "signature crap" all over it, saying he should be "hung up by his thumbs at Hollywood and Vine for fans to stone, because he so devastated the intent of the original." She also thought it was ridiculous that they kept promoting the fact that star Bobbie Phillips was from Showgirls (1995) because that movie was so awful. Hilligoss said she saw Showgirls but didn't remember which "nude" Phillips was. "I didn't recognize her. Maybe because now she has clothes on."

    A complete waste of time...
    This is perhaps the worst movie I have seen in my entire life, and I have seen some really bad films. This movie was extremely boring, had zero plot, and no decent acting to speak of. The limited special effects are nothing noteworthy, either. I had a hard time staying awake, and when it was over, I wished I had fallen asleep instead of subjecting myself to such torture. I can't believe that Wes Craven would put his name on such a dismal failure. If you were thinking of watching this film, don't waste your time or money. Rent something better, such as the original Carnival of Souls (1962).
