...that they made this movie. PROS: had a satisfyingly creepy feel right from the opening prison execution scene; it was fun to see the kid from Troll 2; as a vintage radio collector, it was fun for me to see the possessed radio scene, even tho that particular radio was a reproduction CONS: not nearly as funny as Troll 2; the story was confusing; some of the demon makeup looked as though they just rubbed oatmeal over their faces and let's face it, oatmeal is not very terrifying.
This was made in 1990, at the tail end of two decades that featured some of the best modern horror classics and this movie either paid homage to many of them or just unashamedly ripped them off. I failed to find even one original idea. You have exorcism of a child, a creepy closet that is a portal to Hell, clueless parents who should have reacted sooner to obvious dangers, and the aforementioned oatmeal-slathered demons. You've seen all of this before, done much better.
I am a fan of Fragasso's Troll 2 so I watched it all the way through. If you've never seen a Fragasso film, watch Troll 2 instead.
