While this isn't the greatest comedy horror film it is pretty good one with some chilling scenes. Some of the comedy is kinda lame but other parts of it is pretty damned funny. While I liked some of the comedy in the film, I wish they would have dropped the comedy part and made this one a straight horror film because this could have been super scary if done as out right horror movie.The story and special effects are so-so, not awful but not the best. The killing scenes are kinda funny sometimes.The film isn't anything special in the comedy-horror genre but I found it worth watching nonetheless. Mildly entertaining. Just something different to watch in the horror category.6/10

Perhaps I am being generous with this one, considering I just watched Suspiria, but I found this to be a very colourful, interesting looking movie, with a lot of atmospheric blue lighting contrasted against deep reds , bright yellows, and it has a couple of clever moments (including death by fold-up sofa, probably the most memorable) and it has a good look to it, overall, but.....So much of the dialogue is poorly written, unfunny one-liners, the characters become annoying, and even at a brief 80-minutes, this tale of a man living in a converted train car, haunted by the spirit of John Karl Beuchler, seems padded, with its especially drawn out ending taking up nearly fifteen minutes of the run time.Still, it isn't *terrible*, and might be worth a single watch, for fans of cheeseball 1980s horror, but anything more than that is asking too much from this one.

Jason (David Naughton of American Werewolf in London) buys a train car converted into an apartment not knowing that ten years previously it was involved in a bizarre accident. While going back to school he soon starts a relationship with the much younger Kim (Judie Aronson of Friday the 13th: the Final Chapter and Weird Science). However not all is wine and roses as 'the Mister' an undead ghoul is soon after him.Through technically a '90's film this feels like an 80's movie through and through. Now that is usually a plus, but I found the film to be too slow, plodding, derivative, and disjointed to be enjoyable despite one or two fairly inventive kills. Kevin McCarthy earns this one an extra star as he's always a joy to watch, but Taxi's Jeff Conaway is worthless in this movie.Eye Candy: Sandra Margot and Judie Aronson get topless

If you've ever wondered what a horror film written by a Woody Allen wannabe would come out like, then check this one out. It's imaginatively directed, has a typical but enjoyable "haunted place" premise, solid makeup effects....it's an all-around good job, but with one major flaw: the dialogue is overloaded with cheeky wisecracks and witticisms (sample: "You want scary? Go shopping with my ex-wife") that sometimes hit the mark, but are too often delivered at the most inappropriate moments (even while the hero is battling an evil ghost!). (**)
