clearly flawed but great all the same

This is a weird one theres so many flaws but a lot of them make the movie even better, but where theres a lot of flaws theres genuinely incredible bits of production you dont see on your average so bad its good movie, the good first being the lighting and cinematography oh my is it good the scenes of the demons walking up the stairs through the blue smoke is perfect, the next good thing is the glam rock music thats fits well with this sort of movie that doesnt take itself hugely seriously but on top of that theres the incfredible original soundtrack the main theme isnt exactly original for 80s horror music or even italiam horror music but its very good, and of course to finish of the good the practical effects are very solid it has a good production value. This leads straight into the bad tho while goofy motorbike sword fight is undeniably good it could have used a bit more care put into it it barely looks like hes hitting them most of the time, the worst part of thde movie is the attrocious acting and characters my god is it bad the characters are completely one note and the acting is so bad its like they've come to act in a porno or something the dialogue feels so unnatural i dont know if its just a bad dubbing job or the actors just didnt know english or something but its horribly bad, id argue this adds to thde so bad its good charm but when parts of this movie are actually really well made its a damn shame theres a phenominal movie and skilled cinematogrophers hidden inside this b movie classic so you could even get some enjoyment out of this if your not a fan of cheesy 80s horror like me, definately check it out better than all this attractive unrelateable 20 years olds fight terrible cgi ghost that has insanely stupid gimmick trash they pop out every month nowadays.

7/10 worth a view or two.
