Young and beautiful nurse Sherri Martin (an appealing performance by buxom brunette Jill Jacobson) gets possessed by the dangerous and vindictive spirit of crazed preacher Reanhauer (a solid and charismatic portrayal by Bill Roy). Reanhauer uses Sherri as a means of getting revenge on all the people he believes are responsible for his death.
Notorious drive-in schlockmeister Al Adamson handles the familiar, but still enjoyable premise with more competence than usual: The story unfolds at a fairly constant pace while Adamson crafts a reasonably spooky atmosphere and stages the gruesome murder set pieces with flair. The acceptable acting further holds this picture together: Marilyn Joi as the sunny Tara Williams, Katherine Pass as sassy strumpet Beth Dillon, Geoffrey Land as dashing doctor Peter Desmond, Prentis Moulden as easygoing blinded football star Marcus Washington, John Goff as a helpful psychiatrist, and J.C. Wells as booze-sodden paranoid Stevens. The spirited shivery film library score hits the stirring spot. The chintzy (not so) special effects possess a certain loveably shoddy charm. A pretty fun fright flick.
