Weird little film where a girl enters a mausoleum for an initiation, when a telepathetic corpse starts trouble, causing stiff mannequins that sort of resemble corpses to akwardly float around, but not really do anything. The FX are pretty cheesy but they made a valid effort. The movie doesnt get going for about 1hr, but after that it maintains a decent pace. As the movie approaches its climax, the music, lighting, and atmosphere actually contribute to an erie mood. If you can get through the first hour, the ridiculous cheesefest makes for a little fun, but as a whole the film is entirely passable.
Rating: 5/10.
**Note: This is one of two films released in 1983 under the title
Mausoleum, although this one ended up dropping the title in place of
One Dark Night. The other
Mausoleum is quite possibly terribler, with even WORSE effects and acting, and no Meg Tilly.
