Review of Twice Dead

Twice Dead (1988)
Flat and boring

Warning: Spoilers
Even though this movie was made back in 1988, when there was still some room for B movies to play in theaters, I am really surprised this was deemed to be worthy of a theatrical release. I am equally surprised that more than 20 years later, this movie was deemed worthy of a release on DVD. Actually, the DVD pairs this with another haunted house movie, maybe because the DVD company thought no one would buy this movie on its own. It's a really dull affair, with scene after scene going by with not only no shocks, but few attempts at giving the audience some horror. Of the cast, Todd Bridges possibly gives the best performance, but his role has such little impact it could have been easily written out without harming the rest of the screenplay. The last fifteen minutes of the movie, when the ghost starts knocking off the punks that have taken over the house, does have a little interest, but it's too little, too late. Definitely not worth seeking out, unless you participated in the making of the movie and you happen to want to be embarrassed.
