From the director of "Zombie", "City of the Living Dead" and "The Beyond", Lucio Fulci unleashes this mess that was his last American film imported from Italy.
An archeologist along with his family who are vacationing in Egypt unleashes a supernatural force of Evil. A woman with white eyes hands his daughter a mysterious charm, which causes her father to be struck blind inside an unexplored pyramid tomb.
Back home in Manhattan strange happenings begin to take place. The young girl is suddenly in a trance like state and a big bright light is escaping through her bedroom door (Lets say a little "Poltegiest" scene stealing here). When the young girl and her brother enter the closet they suddenly disappear. Written on their bedroom mirror in blood is "Please Help Me" (Hence "The Exorcist"). Mom and Dad begin to investigate when the find the name of Adrian Marcato an evil satanic worshiper (Humm "Rosemary's Baby").
This film has nothing original nor interesting in it's script. Nice camera work from the director but the script just made this flop rather dull and lifeless.
The story continues with background music similar to "The Omen" and the ending just adds the immense disappointment of the film.
Now I have to say that bad low budget films that rip off major Hollywood Blocbusters can be the best, that is when their done with sense of humor with or without intention.(Unintentitly of corse is better) but this film had zero.
Now available on DVD through Anchor Bay Entertainment, the DVD is presented in Widescreen (2.35:1) enhanced for 16x9 tv's, An interview with writer Dardano Sacchetti. This interview was very interesting to see, Theatrical Trailers and Talent Bios. Anchor Bay does another fine job of bringing us yet another beautiful transfer flawless of any grain with vibrant saturated colors.
