In 1955, young waitress Lenora (Lucinda Dooling) finds herself inexplicably driving down the California highway to an unknown destination. This doesn't bode well for Cam (John Sanderford), the hitchhiker she just picked up, because he has to endure her somnambulist driving. The duo eventually end up at a graveside in the woods and meet Aaron (Robert Ginty), who is just as shocked to see them as Lenora appears to be the reincarnation of his wife who was murdered nearly 100 years earlier (and Aaron is still in his 30s). It takes quite a film to make me constantly scratch my head and say, "Wait? What the hell is going on here?" This Charles Band feature definitely gave my brain a workout with its bizarre storyline about reincarnation, demons and dimensional portals. The story itself is pretty innocuous and could be for kids, so it is surprising that Band throws in some very gory bits. Dooling is quite attractive as the lead and it is a shame she didn't go on to do more. The late Ginty is fine as usual. I do wonder if Band was slightly influenced by Richard Blackburn's LEMORA as this tends to ape the film's style and setting. Hell, even the leads have a similar name. As always, Richard Band supplies a fine score, one befitting a better movie perhaps.

It was not that awful. Saw in right after I got my first VCR here in Norway, and I was scared. Scary movie for me who was not used to much horror on my TV. You Americans were probably spoiled. Haha.. And I thought that Bob Ginty was a hunk. I have seen him in The Exterminator, Bodysnatcher, I think he was there anyway. And he was my leading man in those early days of video-watching. Probably not the most serious actor , but still. A lot of B-films as we call it here. But anyways...The movie was not so bad at all. You cannot make gold out of everything! I only remember that my boyfriend and I kept this video for days just to watch it over again.And I would love to get a hold of it today. So many years later. Have not seen Bob Ginty for a while thou..

semi decent horror flick has lots of blood to satisfy gore hounds cheesy acting but it does have a lot of creepy parts too the script is pretty muddy at times and doesn't make much sense and can get kinda dull but this is a mostly watchable time that is kinda enjoyable it has a really awesome ending and good photography the effects are decent but this does get a little too confusing at times and the dialog is sometimes laughable although the characters are fairly amiable i just couldn't warm up to one of the performances so if you didn't have anything else to rent at your local video store ya might as well pick this up its a semi enjoyable rainy night/afternoon watch ** out of 5

Apparently, this film sat on a shelf for 4 years before being released. Not long enough I say ...
