"Cool Slasher"
"Donald Pleasence, Ginger Lynn, Arnold Vosloo, Robert Vaughn. . . in Edgar Allan Poe's story! What more can you ask? Great edition by Vinegar Syndrome."
"Pretty silly stuff but I’m a Ginger Lynn fan/completist so felt compelled to add this to my collection when it came up as available again with the slipcover. Very nice disc as usual from VS, visuals look great and the art on the slipcover is attractive. Fun characters including Donald Pleasence obviously phoning it in but still a hoot!"
"What a hidden gem!! Cover art amazing as usual and transfer was amazing! Blind buy and loved it! Never heard of this film before and loved the atmosphere and impressive cast roster!!"
"Nice take on an old classic, fairly entertaining"
"Love me some Karen Witter (Lorre). Fun in this flick."
