"I loved you, now I'm going to kill you"
This movie has so many priceless moments like that, it's hard to know where to begin. I don't think the ghosts are so much Ghosts, as people who've eaten too much black cherry jello brand gelatin who sneer and make noises like growling dogs. Check out the dime-store novelty cobwebs. And at the end, when the woman's face is torn off- check out the mouse in the mouth! Funny! And the exorcism? Woah... someone call William Friedkin! Also enjoy the exterior establishing shot obviously manipulated to be day and night, to poor effect. And whoops- the priest died... oh well. My other favorite was the golden-foil wallpaper them: brilliant art direction. The cheap digital effects made you feel like you were watching cheap digital effects (the Death of Heinrich scene). I spent most of the film trying to figure out how the actors were talked into doing this piece. 'Billy' had the best approach and neither over or underacted.
I'll give these guys an A for effort, but I don't plan on watching another Castro effort, nor could I recommend this to anyone. It's as though the filmmakers said "let's marry our favorite films- 'Sunset Boulevard', 'Evil Dead', and 'Scooby Doo', but without a dog". The lighting was absolutely horrible- felt like you were watching a poorly lit home vido.
