I'm not going to review this film, but will offer a few comments for those wondering about content.
I saw this shortly after its release and remember liking it very much. I've always been a fan of occult themes, especially when combined with blood and gore. In 1988, this was considered one of the less tame films, though it was not widely released, being more of a B-movie. There is a fair amount of blood and gore (for the time) but it doesn't hold up well, as the story is very cookie cutter and offers little original content. That's not to say it's a bad flick, It's just doesn't hold up as well as some of the classic occult flicks of the day.
If you're looking for a good horror flick to watch, especially one with blood and/or gore, this is not for you. If you enjoy horror tales with occult themes, regardless of the era produced, and are ok with the technology of 1988 (not even break-through or emblematic tech, but "just ok"), it's not a bad watch. There is simply nothing break-through or original to the flick, making it just another average 1988 horror flick.
