1997 - 75m.

Twenty years after her abusive father is killed by a demonic being called "Hellinger", a woman continues to be haunted by the being. And wouldn't you know it, there's a bunch of killings going on.

Mostly hopeless micro-budgeter has an okay idea but suffers from amateurish acting and a script that meanders more than it does entertain.

When "Hellinger" first shows-up we wonder is he's a bit mentally deficiant by his slow speech and he's an obvious clone of Pinhead (minus the pins), but it's a valiant attempt at making a indie film villain.

Lots of gore, a hero so tattooed it's almost gross and a repulsive (and needlessly brutal) slaying of a female cast member.

Difficult to recommend (and I don't), but an okay attempt. Co-produced by Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz even though it's not a Troma release (the film drops the name a bunch of times though).

Directed By: Massimiliano Cerchi.
Written By: Gino Udina.

Starring: Arthie Richard, Shannah Betz, James M. O'Donoghue.
