| | Good writing - great potential - director walked through it | Anonymous 05/28/2007 | | Lots of promise in this urban 'Most Dangerous Game' -- but the director, William Webb, appears to have either walked through his duties or phoned it in. Great ideas barely explored by the screenwriter, Dana Augustine, as exampled when we are introduced to the hero, Robert Forster, living at his sister's house .... and when he went on a beer drunk, banished to the nephew's tree-fort. The VIDEOHOUND'S COMPLETE GUIDE TO CULT PICS AND TRASH FLICKS gave it 4 STARS out of 5. Worth a look and a purchase for the odd Saturday night. |

Genre: Comedy
Director: James Signorelli
Cast: Cassandra Peterson, Susan Kellerman, Jeff Conaway, William Morgan Sheppard, Edie McClurg, William Duell, Daniel Greene
The queen of TV B-film horror stars in her first feature film. The result is a movie that is a lot of fun, even though it's a B-minus film. Elvira travels to a small town to sell an estate she has just inherited. The townspeople are shocked by Elvira and her appearance and the stage is set for much of the film's humor. 1 User Review

| | Too much Elvira... | Candy Kane 01/28/2007 | | and not enough of stud Daniel Greene who inexplicably never takes his shirt off during the entire film. Greene plays his usual goodnatured, super strong self and the thought that his character would be interested in old hag Elvira is ludicrous. |
