3.0 out of 5 stars
A dozen doses of death, September 25, 2007
This review is from: Blood Soaked Cinema: Tormented Souls (DVD)
Highlights of this collection are a cult favorite that's set at an abandoned amusement park, a star-studded made-for-TV fright film and a journey into the seamy underbelly of the big city.
"Carnival of Souls" grows in stature with each passing year. Candace Hilligoss is perfectly cast as a woman detached from humanity after the car she was riding in plunges off a bridge into a river, and she emerges as the lone survivor.
"Death at Love House" has the restrictions of 1970s network TV working against it, in spite of an outstanding cast. In this one, a young man is possessed by the spirit of a dead movie queen-- a woman who once had an affair with his father.
"God Told Me To" has a Catholic police detective investigating murders he believes are related to the occult underworld in NYC.
