Witchtrap (1989)

- written March 2000







          At the old Lauder home, mysterious things are occurring and the owner of the house wants it sold before more people die. It seems it is haunted by the previous owner who was engaged in satanic rituals to become immortal, when he was stopped by police years ago - and now the sales company needs the demon exorcised before they can sell it. It is then that Dr. Goldberg brings her psychic husband Felix and other pals to do their best on the spirits but the spirits are all too willing to play the game. And one by one the mediums begin to die off. It is then that the death of one occupant of the house, a magician rumored to be a serial killer, is announced. All hell breaks loose from then on and only 1 selfish security guard can save them from the evil spirit. But will he be able to save anyone else besides himself?

          Overall: Terrible film that is more of a comedy than anything. It actually starts off with a disclaimer that it is not a sequel to "Witchboard" - however, it has the same plot, the same director and 3 of the same actors. It also stars Linnea Quigley ("Night of the Demons," "Death Mask") so do enjoy her obligatory shower scene.
