Editorial Review - Description
The SET-UP: Five young kinky actors and their artistic director come to a desolate and nearly forgotten burial island, complete with a morbid history of MURDER, RAPE, CURSES and DEMONS. Alan (Alan Ormsby), the brilliant but bizarre Director of the company, has brought them to this foreboding place to dabble in witchcraft; specifically to dig up a fresh corpse and use it in a ritual ceremony which is supposed to raise the dead from their graves.The PAY-OFF: It seems as though Alan has really gathered his "children" here, only to play a practical joke on them and then to party the rest of the night away. However, the joke's on Alan. His bizarre ritual ceremony really does raise the dead from their graves...only they're in no mood to party! NOTE: "BENJAMIN" CLARK is really "BOB" CLARK, the creative director behind the hit films PORKY'S, BLACK CHRISTMAS and A CHRISTMAS STORY among others. ALAN ORMSBY, though he turned in what has been described as "...one of the most obnoxious screen performances in history!", has actually made a mark for himself as the screenwriter for such memorable films as MY BODYGUARD, CAT PEOPLE, KARATE KID 3 and PORKY'S 2. Bonus Features: Scene Selection| Original Theatrical Trailer| Photo Gallery| Actor Bios. Specs: DVD5; Dolby Digital Mono; 87 minutes; Color; 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio; MPAA - PG; Year - 1972; SRP - $9.99.
Witchcraft and voodoo creepfest
A Customer Review by CraigalsCosmosis
Dark and dreary atmosphere setting in a cemetary deep in the woods and you know that doom is in the future for this group of grave robbers within the first few seconds into the movie.This small budget horror from 1972 gave me the creeps and that's a hard feat to acomplish.Zombies,witchcraft and grave robbing make this a great horror movie.This guy Bob Clark(who I never heard of before this,but will look out for more features from him)did a great job with the small budget he had to work with.Every dollar put into this is not wasted as Bob Clark goes all the way with the finished product. Worth repeat viewings.If you like early 70's horror,then this would be a great addition to any zombie horror fan or just horror lover period.
an oldie but a goody.

I got this DVD as a gift to my husband from my son. He loved it and wanted a better copy for his collection. He was very pleased with it.
Thanks.
