Featured review
Two couples are enjoying a weekend of boating at a nearby lake and then decide to do something a little different by visiting a graveyard that night. When they get there they notice a deserted mausoleum and once inside one of the men decides to experiment with a demonic chant. This causes corpses to come out of their graves and devour one of the women and infect one of the men. The infected man is taken to a hospital but during surgery is declared dead and then transported to a funeral home. Needless to say, he doesn't remain dead for very long. Now even though this synopsis is rather brief it almost depicts the entire movie for the simple reason that the film itself is quite brief as well (about 58 minutes). This fact is just one of the faults. Throw in bad lighting, lack of cohesion between scenes and some segments running on much too long and everything pretty much points to a less-than-average movie experience. The really sad thing is that this movie had some potential. Unfortunately, the resources just weren't adequate to pull it off. All things considered then I rate it as below average.

Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProduced in 1973 by Lawrence Zazelenchuk, who owned "The 69 Drive-In" on Rt. 69 outside of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. He had saved $36,000 from working at a nickel mine and decided to write and produce a horror film to screen at his own drive-in. Director Donald R. Passmore was hired, then fired after four days and replaced by Klaus Vetter. Once finished, Zazalenchuk found he could not afford the lab costs to have the film developed, but finally saved enough in drive-in proceeds to get it processed. It premiered at "The 69 Drive-In" in 1974 and went on to a long local run before it was bought by a New York distributor in the market for a tax write-off.
- Alternate versionsNumerous gory parts of the film were cut down by Ontario Censors, the footage is now said to be lost.
