Mausoleum

¿Cómo se vería si la niña de El exorcista no hubiera sido exorcizada y el demonio se hubiera quedado escondido dentro de ella hasta que viviera en una casa grande con un marido rico, fuera guapa y tuviera grandes pechos... Una película americana de clase B de la década de 1980 que es estúpida y barata, pero que por razones misteriosas verás hasta el final. Quizá por el carisma femenino en torno a la protagonista y el trasfondo erótico de la película. Hay efectos gore, mucho humo y ojos verdes brillantes. (06.08.2005)

At its core, Mausoleum is an ambitious attempt at an atmospheric horror movie with supernatural elements and special effects that were obviously inspired by those found in The Exorcist, as well as in the top Italian horror movies of the 1970s. But it remains faithful to its 1980s roots and low-budget origins, sliding into a splendidly entertaining display of straightforward gore effects, rubber masks and always satisfying nude scenes. With its half-baked production and futile acting performances, it stays one step away from the desired boundary that separates solid horror movies from unwanted entertainment and detached, though enthusiastic, viewing of absurd twists. Mausoleum is a gratifying chain of explosively escalating sequences abounding with spectacularly straightforward amusements and copious effects, which in its time guaranteed that the target group of teenage viewers would want to rewind and rewatch certain scenes on their VHS players.
