Oh why, why does Justin French even make movies that are so bad, I mean really bad, and yet he calls them good? You really think focusing on a woman is entertaining for him?
I had the displeasure of seeing director Justin French's dubious masterpiece Frozen Flesh, which was without a doubt the worst thing I have ever seen in my entire life. So, I no doubt decided to continue torturing myself with his next "film," the inappropriately-titled Evil Spirits.
I'm ranking this "film" a 1, and yet I will probably be recommending you to see it. I know that sounds weird, but bear with me on this one...
Boardinghouse owner Mrs. Purdy (Karen Black) likes to off her elderly tenants but keep their Social Security checks coming.
Something very strange and sinister is going on at a gloomy, moldy, dilapidated Los Angeles boarding house run by endearingly batty landlady Karen Black. Lots of residents who check in check out permanently so Ms.
Batty widower Ella (Karen Black!) rents out the rooms in her giant house to various boarders in order to make ends meet.
A nice assortment of cult and over the hill actors cannot save this horror - comedy. Karen Black is the same whacked character you've seen in any number of her horror films.
"So-so" sums it up...simply marginal on every level, with ensemble "anything for a paycheck" cast the only redeeming quality.
