Don Coscarelli directs A. Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornbury and Angus Scrimm in this low budget horror about two orphaned brothers investigating the terrifying going-ons around a shady mortuary. 

I enjoyed this a little more on a second try but it is still cheap and daft, overly ambitious. Better when it is trying to be Z-Movie David Lynch rip off (there’s a dream logic plot and Dadaist interiors) than an action adventure on $100 budget. Did we really need shotgun car chases to space out the spookiness? Not at all scary but with some nicely gloopy images that come out of nowhere.
