Customer Reviews

Great Concept, Shame About the Film
The basic plot to this movie is actually quite nifty - a type of evil spirit, eternally on the move, that masquerades as humans and drives mad those who tangle with them. Sadly, the realisation is quite appallingly poor, lacking even the saving grace of being funny. The DVD may date to 2007 but I would say this was a mid-80s production of made-for-tv standard, given the presence of Adam Ant in a (thankfully silent) role as head bad spirit and the wannabe heavy rock score that just hasn't got the cojones. Pierce Brosnan produces a fine tortured performance, but for some unknown reason his character is French, and his French accent is as convincing as Dick van Dyke's cockney. Lesley Ann Down squeals and falls over a lot as a doctor who somehow inherits his memories after his dramatic death in her care. There are a couple of sex scenes thrown in, and if it would make your life complete to see a brief full-frontal of Mr Brosnan, you're in luck; and Mary 'Gums' Woronov performs perhaps the worst 'sexy dancing' scene ever put on camera as the inspiredly-named 'Dancing Mary'. Probably funnier to us Brits, actually. And Adam Ant gets his head beat in with a tyre iron. In short, a badly scripted, tatty mish-mash of nothing. The idea could use a decent remake, though...
