Shock
(a.k.a. Beyond the Door 2)
(Mario Bava; 1979)
(Anchor Bay Entertainment)
-Overview-
A young boy is possessed by his deceased father when his new family moves back into the house where the boy’s father killed himself. Annoying child acting ensues.
Bava’s final film is certainly not his best, but it does have some merit. Short on gore and T&A but some amusing scenes and plot elements. The lovely Daria Nicolodi doesn’t hurt either. For completists only.
