Reencarnación sangrienta

I know who watches crap like this: idiots like me who actively seek out bad films. But who MAKES crap like this? All that effort and money on a finished product that most sane people wouldn't waste their precious time on. Surely, at some point during filming, someone must have realised how completely awful it all was. Why didn't they cut their losses by closing down production?

Unsurprisingly, the abysmal nature of the film didn't go unnoticed once it was completed: it's never had an official release, on VHS or disc, no distributor willing to shell out money on the rights and risk being left with a warehouse of unshifted units. The only way to see it is by finding it on the internet, but be warned... it's not really worth the effort, even if it does feature Linnea Quigley dressed in a sexy, topless cowgirl outfit.

The plot, for what it's worth, sees two-bit criminal Roy Flowers digging up the grave of killer Luis 'Blade' Orlando in order to steal a valuable ring from the dead man's hand. Ring successfully retrieved, Roy is double-crossed by his partners-in-crime, who hit him over the head with a shovel, bury his body in Blade's grave (impaling him with a metal pole for good measure), and take his plane ticket.

When the plane explodes mid-flight, and Roy is believed to have died in the disaster, his mother (Cathrine Grace) and sister (cute blonde Allison Barron) receive $300,000 from his life insurance policy. When Roy turns up at home shortly after, his body now possessed by Blade's spirit, his mother fears that she will have to return the money...

I'm not saying that the idea doesn't have comedic potential, just that directors Richard Gabai and Robert Strauss, and the majority of the cast, lack the talent to make any of it work. Dark humour requires a level of finesse and acumen that those involved clearly do not possess and the result is a total mess best avoided by all but devotees of z-grade tat.
