Viewing Notes

Thought I watched this years ago… maybe not. I got this confused with another movie that I don’t recall the name of atm.

Bob Clark’s catalog is really something. How he can make a film like this, which isn’t very good yet kinda goofy, then go on to make BLACK CHRISTMAS is baffling. Not to mention his other works which are either considered classics or generally bad. This movie is straight up drive-in/grindhouse fodder. Bunch of young people visit an island cemetery and perform a satanic ritual to raise the dead. Surprise, the undead kill them.
