Warning: Spoilers
Not one person in this movie can act. Laraine Newman is an embarrassment. She delivers her lines like this film is supposed to be a comedy. The writing is amateurish. The direction is the worst.

The "super" of the apartment gets chased by a buzz saw blade and he's running around the basement for like 10 minutes with this thing following him. The blade slices thru all the light bulbs but it never gets even marginally darker down there. The the scene shifts to the blade's POV and we see it's like 5 inches from the guy, but then the camera cuts back to the guy and you don't even see the blade. In fact, he stops to look back!

Get this one -- there is a scene where Micky Dolenz's kid -- who is horrible -- is at the cemetery for a service. The camera pans up from her feet to her head. As it pans up past her knees we see they are dirty, like she had been kneeling. It's VERY clear, they are dirty.

So when did that happen? There was no previous scene where she was kneeling!

This guy should never have been allowed to direct a movie! This movie is just the pits.

And Dolenz has giant knockers but never does a topless scene! What kind of horror movie is this? It was rated R but by today's standards it would literally get a G. There are sexier, more violent films shown on commercial cable.

The only good scene in the film is Marvin Kaplan as an occultist. I gave the film 2 stars because of him. It would have gotten 3 if they exposed Dolenz's breasts.
