| StarburstJohn HigginsStylistically, it is reminiscent of some of those classic Hammer House of Horrors and Phantasm, and it does retain some good old cultish charm throughout. |
| DVDTalk.comBill GibronFrightmare fumbles so many of the standard scare tactics that it's almost impossible to see where it gained such a supercilious legitimacy. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergAll fear the deadly ghostly apparition of a recently-dead horror actor! Or not. |
| User ReviewMiss.Gory RLOVE this film! Right up there with 'ONE DARK NIGHT' we are treated to a beyond Death experience with a dead Horror Star, and 5 Horror Hounds who just cannot let him alone...Jeff Combs, then a nobody, was chosen for his role just because they needed a brunette male...Oh, How some make it...Highly recommended... Gorewhore Out. |
| User ReviewJustin AAnother movie I feel I don't have much to say about. It's a strange plot. Drama students steal the corpse of a famous horror actor because... reasons? Haven't they seen Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things? Of course, the actor comes back and starts murdering all of them one by one. Jeffrey Combs is in it (very young) and he gets the best death. It was very fitting too, considering his history as Herbert West. The ending cemetery chase during the day is fun. I really have no idea why, I just like chases that take place in cemeteries, especially sunny Californian cemeteries. The most memorable part of the movie is the horror actor who has risen from the grave (again because... reasons?). His acting is so cheesy, but it's mostly enjoyable. He even does a racist asian thing with his face. You know what I'm talking about, the thing little kids do when asked to make the face of a Chinese person where they pull back their eyelids. Yeah, I'm rambling now. Fun, but very forgettable movie. |
| User ReviewSteve JA wonderfully promising start leads to a silly uninteresting movie. |
| User ReviewAj VThis slasher flick is so predictable and poorly made, it's just too boring to watch. |
