Review: Great movie in the spirit of the stories Lovecraft, great representative of the movie 70. A young girl, a famous model, rents an apartment in an old house in the heart of New York City, where strange things begin to happen. The plot is already known from the 19th century, when the popular Gothic novel gaining momentum, especially the story about the “bad house” or “place.” Chotko balance of mysticism and scary scenes ala “Lucio Fulci” and even without nudity has not done. And of course the Catholic Church, with the secrets of the gates of hell on earth, is also involved. Among the interesting facts associated with this film – in the final scene of the attack of demons on the main character, use actors with real ugliness (eg actor Bob Melvin). Also in the film lit up such stars as Christopher Walken, the future Oscar winner (still young) as an assistant detective Jeff Goldblum (as a glamor photographer), Tom Berenger, and star of “Law and Order” Jerry Orbach. If a cute age 70 – playing without fail.
