I thought this was going to be one of those crazy '70s/early '80s Horror movies. One of those second tier flicks, something along the lines of "The Legacy", "Burnt Offerings", "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" or even "Bug". But it didn't even make it to that level. There isn't much of a story, the kills are unimaginative and the demon-locked-in-its-prison-plot has been done many times better than this. The effects were less than convincing and the characters were not likable, not even a little.

The movie's only bright spot is Joanna Pettet. She's really good here as she plays Carolyn, a beautiful doctor who not only figures out what is going on, she is the hero at nearly every level. Pettet is also gorgeous so I'm sure that helped. Carolyn is involved in the only moment of the movie that surprised me, when she experiences a ghostly figure, followed by a statue that moves. Ruchard Crenna plays a pig-headed professor, who, for as smart as we are told that he is, screws up constantly.
