Review of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) by Rico Z — 15 Jul 2006
Can you say CAMP?!?!? This movie is the definition of 1980s camp horror/comedy. It's Elvira, come on! That said, it was one of my favorite films growing up. It was so pathetically idiotic that it was actually good.
Elvira gets herself into situations that are classic and her cheesy one-liners are things only Elvira would say and things only a moron would laugh at! So, be a moron for 90 minutes and let go! As you follow Elvira exploits in a small, quaint town (where she is so out-of-place) you find yourself laughing (or at least chuckling) at her (not with her) and rooting for her and goofball, horny teenager followers.
The mystical theme to this movie and the whole curse element is inconsequential, but adds to the preposterous plot. A classic!
