Classic 80's schlock about a crazed doctor who tears and out plays with peoples brains before throwing them into a pit who is killed by another doctor who covers the pit up. Twenty years later, a mysterious young woman arrives to the mental hospital where the pit reopens and the ghost doctor starts taking orderlies and patients out one by one again.

In the climax of the film, it turns into a crazy ass zombie movie where the people from the doctor's dead pit come out and rip everyone's brains out. It's a crazy and silly movie that is a lot of fun to watch, especially for out in the open boom mikes and terrible model settings for big action moments.

The main lead chick is pretty hot and shows her titties off once and runs around in a very skimpy outfit the rest of the movie. Good debut from the underrated Brett Leonard (Lawnmower Man, Feed, Man-Thing).

Classic 80's material.
