THE PLOT:

A group of friends planning to spend the weekend at a cabin ends in horror when the last tenant read a magic book called the Necromicon into his tape recorder. When they play the tape it unleashes a hell that are killing them and using their bodies as puppets called Deadites.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

Who said reading never hurts anyone? This is a classic story with classic creature effects. Now the creature effects could have been better but as a whole, this is a true buried treasure and I give it 9 STARS.

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

This is why I'm against time shares. The last guy could have left a mess to clean up or start the apocalypse. But I do agree with ZEDD, younger people must see this movie and see it soon. 9 STARS.

...AND FINALLY...

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- WEAK CREATURE EFFECTS (Some of the make up effects could have been better.)
