Review:
One of my favorite movies, of all time. I grew up watching this movie, as well as many other bad 80's movies. And once again Jamie Lee is my favorite actress, the Queen of scream. Of course there is bad acting, but at least these are med school students, so the age of the actors actually works in this movie! It was very difficult to find a copy of this movie, my mom had to order it for me in the US, so we were lucky to get a DVD version, which I think they have stopped making. A good, classic, horror movie from the 80's. A good movie, with some classic Jamie Lee Curtis screaming. Young David Copperfield is actually in the movie!, providing magic tricks for the guests.
