Either you will love or hate this movie, depending on if you are a Twin Peaks fan. For a good chunk of the movie, I was really wondering if I had stepped upon a lost episode.
Brad and Danielle are parapsychologists newlyweds who have just purchased Sunset House. The house is (of course) haunted by an autistic boy named Samuel. Samuel gets slightly perturbed when people have sex, which is a major downer for the couple. Their boss want's this phenomena documented, but Danielle seems to be a little camera shy. Presumably, it has something to to with the fact she just found out she is with child.
Watch for David Carradine as the town doctor with a dirty little secret. Hand's down, his acting is the best in the movie, but even he can't save the flick from gravitating towards sci-fi soap opera. Once almost longs for Uma Thurman to jump out and kick some ass with her sword.
Roger Corman is listed as executive producer, and it appears he's getting soft. Gone are the hard-core violence and nudity of his earlier films, only to be replaced by emotional fluff. Humanoids From The Deep kept viewers creeped out with suspense, whereas this has you giggling from the cliché camp haunting crap. Piano playing itself, mirrored reflections, paths of light....please. Maybe someone should have called in David Lynch. At least you;d be guaranteed decent sex scenes.
However, this movie isn't entirely crap. It has a cool sense of camp value, and is worthing watching once. Just just don't expect to hear about poor Laura all wrapped in plastic. She's not mentioned, I checked.
