Very disappointing '80s effects-fest. "Teens" celebrate Halloween in a house that was the site of a massacre, blah blah blah. Not camp enough to be adorable, not cheesy enough to be funny, not scary enough to be worth a watch. Great opening titles, though, with cartoon demons flying around over a naff synth score.

Not scary at all, but nice effects and some creepy dialogue. Keep in mind that it is your classic cheesy 80's flick, and you'll enjoy it.
I'd recommend it for fans of Fright Night and Demons, though not quite as good as either.

Exactly what you want out of an eighties horror movie for pizza night. Got your monsters, your sultry potential victims, your teens who do dumb things and dabble with the wrong forces while spending a night in a hellish old house.

As is so often the case with horror movies, this is actually kind of watchable, but only if you go into it with the assumption that you’ll be making fun of it. Grab a few friends and some popcorn, and it can be a good candidate for lampooning. But when judged on its actual merits, it really doesn’t have much going for it. The plot is both trite and silly, the characters are mostly unsympathetic idiots, and the acting ranges from “slightly wooden” to “game show host”. Read full review.

Some of the demons are barely even trying while other growl like grizzly bears.

one of the classic horror gems featuring the sort of talented Linnea Quigley! Anything from the 1980's involving stupid kids, in haunted house, performing seances, and bringing out the dead is OK with US!

Revisiting this classic gem! Anything with Linnea Quigley, a group of teenagers having a seance in a creepy old house, and DEMONS, is OK with me!

Sex selger! Det gjorde tilbake i 1988 og det gjør det nå i 2010, og med det som utgangspunkt har Joe Augustyn skriblet ned et manus så fantasiløst at selv politiske taler fremstår som direkte spennende til sammenligning. Saken er grei; en gjeng ungdommer drar til et øde og påstått hjemsøkt sted, de irriterer på seg en eller annen piss-sur demon og helvete er i gang. Underveis skal søte jenter bli onde og "sexy", man skal skvette litt og det er vel omtrent det.
Så langt er alt vel for en fantasifull regissør kan lett forvandle et gråsteinsmanus til lettbeint underholdning ved hjelp av masse effekter og engasjerte skuespillere. Sånn sett er det ingen som skal anklage regissør Kevin Tenney…

Strange '80s #Horror has elements of comedy, bad acting. Great F/X trick with lipstick tube. (My Twitter Review)
