3/10
Kind of a great value version of The Fog...

Warning: Spoilers
First of all, the film should be called the Ghosts of Ludlow, because that is what they were. About the only thing demonic about said ghosts were the hands in a couple of scenes. Second, not sure what movie the person who wrote the description of this film saw, but there was nothing about Ludlow that was coastal. It was a snowy and isolated town, but there is not any ocean present. They may be thinking of The Fog which which this film seems to be ripping off a lot. That being said, the thing could have been good if they had gone all out, but it is simply to drawn out and dull in places to be any good. One memorable death and a bunch of lame ones, people dressed as swordsmen and no one dressed as a demon!

The story, a town that is celebrating its bicentennial, just like they were doing in The Fog, get a special gift of a piano. This piano is part of the a curse that was placed on the town or something, they are not clear. The curse in The Fog was clearly laid out, here it had something to do with a shotgun killing and a guy losing his hands. A preacher and a reporter try to search for the truth while there is a lot of general milling around going on and we get to see a creepy woman playing with dolls before being killed making me wonder, what was the point of her character being so off?

Not an actor of note in this thing. I am sure there may be someone from some television shows present or in the background of other movies, but no one I recognize. Some nudity is present, but it is the creepy woman who gets eaten and is in the only memorable death scene. The ending comes out of nowhere with the resolution being woman drops dead in the snow and nothing really accomplished.

So, it had some interesting points, if it had leaned a bit into the more gory and extreme it may have been a cheesy fun movie, but as it is, for the most part you are watching people do a bit of walking and that is about it with five minute bursts of action. Even the kills are bad in places, featuring two people who hare just shot and another who is simply hanged. They also should of hired Rick Baker and had some real demons present and not just ghosts who raided some Halloween store...
