Review of One Dark Night (1982) by Kayla K — 13 Mar 2014
I was super excited that I had Friday off so that I could partake of a Terror Thursday that I probably wouldn't have seen otherwise...
However, it was coming off of one HARD week! So, naturally I nodded off in the middle :(.
It was a weird intro, because there was a mini argument over the goodness of Family Guy, then E. Daily got more applause for doing the voice of Babe than being Dottie (I would give equal applause)... her work as Tommy on the Rugrats was, however overlooked ;).
The movie starts off with two story lines that will eventually be woven together by murderous "psychic vampire" (!!!) scientist, Raymar's, dead plastic body.
One is that of Adam West's wife who is the alienated daughter of Raymar. She is coming to understand and fear her father's deadly psychic powers, despite Adam Wests severe disapproval.
The other story is that of Julie who wants to be a part of "The Sisters"...a 3 gal gang featuring E. Daily, a blond bombshell, and a black gal. The Blond bombshell is terrorizing Julie with "initiations" 'cause Julie is dating her ex. One of the initiations is spending the night in a mausoleum.
...the one that Raymar was just entombed in.. duh duh duuuuuh!
The mausoleum is Hollywood Cemetery which was fun to see again, and astounding how little it's changed in 20 years.
The Raymar uses his postmortem telekinesis powers to terrorize all that enter with floating dummies and his lightning eyes!
His daughter saves the day and a cool decomposition scene follows.
Pretty slow, but I was tired.
