Another of City Light's cheapies, that throws out movies, like people do trash. You gotta give credit to it's story. Transvestite tries to get sexy with a manager who runs a hotel for newlyweds. He doesn't take to him, sorrily, and ends up murdering the trannie. Years, later, his spirit returns, killing off couples, who have just made their vows. The hotel manager is about to get married to a much younger lass. Lucky him. A 40's psychic woman, holidaying at the hotel with her man is his only chance. Laughable flick, as is almost everything Joseph Mehri and Richard Pepin bring out, this one's an entertainer with overdone violence and some not bad acting. But do watch this privately, to avoid embarrassment from others who might end up killing you off. The priest is a hoot.

Ham and cheese.Two thoughts of this film when I was watching this.The ham represents the acting of the actors in this low budget gore-fest, as they ham it up.The cheese is the plot of this film, mainly swiss and full of holes.The film opens with a person driving down a road, and the car radio is playing facts from that year. The driver pulls up at a hotel and the hotel clerk falls for the person and finds out she was a he, which leads to the demise of the drag queen, any more than three beers and you would have thought Jackie was a lady, not a guy in a wig, make up and high heels.When the spirit of the dead drag queen comes back at the hotel clerk's wedding fifteen years later, he is shocked to see he/she and then the body count continues to clock up.The gore scenes are pretty simple, somewhat borrowed from Friday the 13th films. As the film progresses, you can pretty much guess who is going to die.I found this film for sale on ebay and watched it on VHS. Interestengly enough, the trailer was featured on another video I saw and the trailer was good, which grabbed my attention.Laughable yet easy going film.

Lets see bad acting, sorry effects, blood, and of course boobs! Usually the winning combo of a B movie, but not always. The Newlydeads was a decent flick. The only thing that made this movie worth the $2.00 I paid for it, was the preacher! He was hilarious! He was a drunk and he was often stumbling and singing. Well, My favorite part of the movie was he came up on some rustling in the bushes. Well, it turns out to be an old "newlydead" couple. He yells out, "Whadda ya'll doing in the bushes? SCREWIN!?!?! I was rolling! Other than that this was pretty much a dud. Oh and an interesting tidbit, They added sound effects for EVERY footstep in the movie. Eveytime someone is walking you hear clump, clump, clump, clump...

(Apologies for any spoilers)One of the most unintentionally hilarious "horror" movies I've seen. Would have to consider the direction pure genius except I'm 99% sure this was meant to be scary, frightening, disturbing, etc.The so-called plot involves a lecherous newlywed-hotel owner and his dark past. He killed a transvestite fifteen years ago and for some reason (never, ever clear) s/he is back and mad. Granted, the hotel owner's reasons for killing the transvestite were a tad on the sketchy side, ( a simple "no thank you" would have sufficed) but I don't think that warranted the killing spree that ensues. Logic would dictate the transvestite coming back from the grave and getting revenge on the owner, (who looks and acts like a retired porn star) but of course logic doesn't have a role in this turkey.Rather, the transvestite kills client after client of the owner in scenes that are as poorly acted as they are filmed. There is simply no reason to kill more than half of the victims. The camera tricks used throughout the murder scenes are strictly junior high level and the editing will leave you asking, "What just happened?" more than a few times.The highlights of this film are, while few and far between, enough of a reason to watch through to the end. Greatly laughable sequences involve a saw blade decapitation and a woman who is impaled on a tree somehow, as if she flung herself at it or something. Again, never clear. Does the transvestite control the forest too? Also, an excellent drunken priest guy who clearly understood the role he was to play. The only performance I enjoyed the way the director probably meant it to be enjoyed. Did I mention the psychic? Or the British punk rockers? Or the ending, which is on my top five list of all time worst?Having reread all that, I'd just like to point out that I personally love movies like this, the lazy, desperately unimaginative, who gives a good crap kind of horror film. Apply liberal lubrication (get at least a case if you are not alone) and enjoy. On the copy I saw there was a preview for the movie Epitaph, definitely watch that too.
