Title: Roberta Findlay eighties horrors


Eric Cotenas - April 5, 2008 06:47 AM (GMT)
Just saw LURKERS last night. A cellist has nightmares about her mother trying to kill her (other apparitions include people coming out of the walls, a woman in what I guess is supposed to be Victorian clothing though it looks like a tablecloth, and a Mario Bava style girl in white whose Brooklyn accent kind of spoils the illusion). She is engaged to a photographer who is not only seeing models on the side but appears to be part of some secret society. Gradually (and I do mean gradually) the heroine learns that she is in danger and her boyfriend is in on it.

A decent idea hampered by a script that takes too damn long to get anywhere. The heroine's visions are repetitive without giving any new information, subplots involving her brother, her psychic friend, and two stripping models discussing economics go nowhere. Neither the girl in white nor the mysterious woman who warns her "don't go home" are particularly effective and nothing really R-rated happens until the last half-hour.

I saw LURKERS via the Rhino HORRIBLE HORRORS DVD set paired with Norman J. Warren's TERROR on one side of the disc and PRIME EVIL and THE HEARSE on the other side.

I've seen the similarly dismal PRIME EVIL, THE ORACLE, and BLOOD SISTERS (more entertaining with Joe Bob Briggs audio commentary) so I've got to ask if there are any I've missed?
