The film opens great. Body parts in jars filled with various colored liquids; a mad doctor (Martin Kove) exposing a woman (Orit Shuckroon) tied up on table; and blood splatter. From here the films moves into the promise land as it promises to be a naughty slasher, but doesn't deliver. Sara (Katherine Norland) produces a show called "Babes and Ghosts." 5 girls in bikinis go to a haunted mansion (guess which house) with the object of finding a ghost.
The film spends an hour setting up. Much of the eye candy consists of women in thongs sleeping on beds viewed through a night lens. Even the shower scene with Sara had hints of a flesh colored body suit...or maybe she really does have faint colored aureoles that stretch in a straight line from one side of her body to the other. Who knows? And do people still take Valium? That is so eighties.
The action that takes place 60 minutes into the film, which should have started 30 minutes into the film. There is not much character development. They made the photographer (Vincent Rivera) a jerk and uninteresting. They should have done more with Matti (Liana Mendoza) to make the "Quarantine" ending meaningful. And why do you bring in someone like Maribel Montalvo only to have her keep her top on the whole film? Disappointment all around. Oh yea, the acting wasn't that great either.
Parental Guide: Don't recall any F-bombs. Brief near sex scene. Nudity (Orit Shuckroon, Joanna Zanella)
