After an unfortunate accident, a man's visit with a spirit healer for help in finding out what happened to his girlfriend brings him into contact with a voodoo specialist who can reanimate her body, sending her out on a mission to exact revenge on those who killed her and put her body at rest.
This was a pretty fun and solid genre feature. One of the better elements with this one comes from a strong series of supernatural influences that take a different spin on the typical tale of a body reanimated from the dead to go on a rampage against those who killed her. The influx of black magic in both the resurrection of how she comes back to life and setting out on a rampage through the streets to take out those who chased her down and killed her, which is more impressive with how it changes things up. The series of twists and revelations that come about in the second half features different connections that are introduced that change up how the whole thing takes place, enabling the action to be immensely enjoyable. With the use of her powers, to helped change the type of spectacle presented. Attacking nameless residents that show up to question what's going on, ripping apart the various interlopers that are brought into the confrontation due to the mystical being trying to get what he wants, and several other intriguing elements that have a lot to like. As these all bring about some intriguing action and a few solid gore gags during these scenes, it all comes together rather nicely with a lot to like. There are some issues to be had with this one holding it down. The biggest drawback to the film is the somewhat confusing nature of the offending group of bullies who are responsible for the situation. Initially appearing as disrespectful, lawless punks who engage in taunting and tormenting underage high school girls for the thrill of it all, they become so quickly adapt to murder and killing, so that it feels unbelievable that they would get as comfortable with it as quickly as they do. As it's painted quite heavily that there's been an accident on the initial death and how they reacted to it that shocked the group, this turn into the dark side is somewhat unnatural which makes for all the more confusion when they disappear from the film to serve the battle between the magic-fueled spirits at the center of the film. This makes the sense of spirituality and dark magic another issue, where it's somewhat confusing how everything works as things just happen for no reason, which dramatically reduces the effectiveness of the scenes in general. These all make for a somewhat problematic time here.
