Tockinit not horrible nor great

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

KB A classic example of TV horror's penchant for the old bait-and-switch, this un-scary bit of Hollywood nostalgia masquerading as a ghost story shamelessly strings the viewer along by setting the story in the genuinely creepy Harold Lloyd estate, which has enough sinister menace in and of itself to keep us watching until we're so invested we have to sit through it until the end. Marianna Hill plays a silent-era film star who's been pretending to be dead for over thirty years so she can use either witchcraft or drugs (this is never clear) to seduce a screenwriter who's young enough to be her son while trying to bump off the guy's wife. That's the movie in a nutshell, and like a nutshell it needs to be spit out. But that creepy mansion keeps us interested. Kate Jackson helps, too, who puts in the only good performance, but neither Harold Lloyd's house nor Kate can save a turkey that manages to waste even the talents of Bill Macy. Three stars for the house, one star for Kate. The rest is a waste of time.

bensonmum2 The 70s were without a doubt the golden age of "made-for-TV" horror. This is one of those that was probably churned out as an ABC movie of the week. It's the old story of a house and/or ghost possessing one of the new owners. The movie has promise, but it's never realized. Everything is rushed too much. Tension and suspense need time to build and grow. And there's nothing new. We've seen it all before and one better.One final thought: I don't understand why Robert Wagner's character would fall for the long dead movie star when he's married to Kate Jackson for goodness sake!!!

deh-5 An incredibly dumb young couple move into the gorgeous mansion of long dead movie queen. They soon find that her legend is more powerful than they ever imagined, possibly more powerful than their own love. To be blunt it plays like an extended Fantasy Island segment, which is no surprise since the movie and the show are from the same creators. But it's worth a look for some clever stunt casting of Hollywood legends. And it's filmed at the Harold Lloyd estate which alone is worth the time. TV fans might find some interest in a young Kate Jackson who is really quite attractive with a mid 70s natural look and Robert Wagner who either is trying to play extremely cool or is just plain bored.

thomandybish Aaron Spelling attempted to dabble in horror with this flick, concerning two married journalists doing research on a long-dead Hollywood star. Lorna Love was the top star of her time, and it seems that she employed more than charm and talent to get to the top, namely, witchcraft, and seems to be employing it from beyond the grave on the husband(Robert Wagner), who is the son of Lorna's former love. Will Lorna prevail? Or will the wife(Kate Jackson)save her husband? It's a surprise. It's a decent film, but if Dan Curtis HAD been doing this, it might have been much, much better.
