When I talked to Todd Sheets a few months ago, this movie came up and how much he wanted it to be a tribute to Lucio Fulci.
"When I made House of Secrets, it was made it as a tribute to him. I got to work with Fabio Frizzi who did so many of those great soundtracks. That turned out to be a fantastic time. I just wanted him to do the theme song and he said, "Send me the script and send me the rough cut."
And then I didn't hear anything back.
I'm like, "Oh, God, he hates that. He's not gonna do it."
All of a sudden I hear back. He says, "Okay, I'm gonna do the whole movie for that same cost."
He said that Fulci would be so proud of this movie and well, it was my homage to the Maestro and my big comeback after my heart attack and everything.
I almost died and that was my comeback movie. And I wanted it to be special. So I wanted Fabio to do the theme song and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. He was fantastic."
Jacon Hunt (Antwoine Steele) has had some bad luck in life but now it looks like things are looking up. After all, he has a new job doing security at ShadowView Manor. The bad news? His first night is the anniversary of a great tragedy.
Working for building manager Cane (George Hardy, a welcome face even when he tightens his belt), Jacon and maintenance man Jackson (Bryan David) walk through the building, meeting the residents, who include Cassie (Nicole Santorella) and Hanna (Michaela Paxton Tarbell). These young psychics have been hired by Dorothy Fremont (Iris Runyon) to reach her husband from beyond the grave. As you can imagine, on this evening of such great terror, the spirits of those killed in a brothel massacre many decades ago come back, including Madame Greta (Dyanne Thorne!) and an insane priest named Elias Solomon (Lew Temple).
You know what happens when real Enochian Keys are used during the seance? The dead come to our world and want to kill the living. As always, Sheets moves fast and isn't afraid to get gory. And look out for First Jason Ari Lehman as a guy working in the building and Allan Kayser from Mama's Family and Night of the Creeps.
The only thing that took this down was that it ends with a Lloyd Kaufman cameo that isn't just pointless, it destroyed the end of the film. After all that gore and so many great moments, I hate that this ends with such a goofy and inane moment.
