If you're not a horror fan, then I think this might not be for you, but if you are
It had so many elements to like. The nostalgia of the mid 20th century. The occult tie-ins. The spirit world. An evil antagonist, and his evil henchmen. Historical architectural subtext. The rift between the two lovers that could go either way. The sound track fit the mood perfectly. The camera work was spot on. Even the somewhat corny acting from Lang an Dern was refreshing. Sonja O'Hara really pulled these elements together.
The script, although not all that original, carried the storytelling pretty well, even if it was a bit cornball.
Overall: It's been quite awhile since I've enjoyed a horror flick this much. It had all the tropes of a classic horror film.
