Country: USA
A modern set horror story with the look an atmosphere of a low-budget early 1970s flick. Relying heavily on occult themes, Zombie pays homage to the wave of films that attempted to grab at the Rosemary's Baby success. Zombie achieves this through his inclusion of almost all (if not all) of the makings of one of these culty "knock-offs" such as apartments, creepy old people, a shy priest, and a raunchy soundtrack. This has to be Zombie's lowest budgeted film, but it holds itself up well and adds to its realistic aspects. Unlike Zombie's previous films it disturbs subtly and in waves. Placing the focus on a single, and relatable female protagonist also enhanced the film's realism, proving to be a smart move. This film is a definite watch for fans of 1970s occult films.
Cheesy: 2.5/5
