aka Entity Force/Mausoleum/Rest In Peace/Dark Night/Night of Darkness/Night in the Crypt
Russian psychic Raymar has shuffled off this mortal coil. Disturbingly, he was discovered dead next to a room filled with dead teenage girls. He has been laid to rest at a local mausoleum and this mausoleum is the setting of a challenge that a cute Meg Tilly (Julie) is undertaking to join a local sisterhood of questionable chickadees (among them a very adorable Elizabeth Daily). She has to spend the night at the mausoleum which isn’t anything too dangerous… at least it shouldn’t be. Ya see, Raymar was harnessing his mental abilities and discovered a way to become even more powerful in death. His estranged, psychic daughter and her skeptical husband (Adam fucking West, looking quite comfortable in his sweaters) have uncovered the sinister psychic’s evil plans but may not be all that quick to get their asses to papa’s final resting place and lend a helping hand. So, now Julie is stuck in a locked building full of the dead and the pranks the vengeful head of the girl gang (Julie is with her ex and she’s played by Robin Evans) is pulling on her pale in comparison to what Raymar’s psychic vampire ass is generating. Telekinesis will be put to good use, the dead will move and the small batch of teens will be terrorized to no end by some stellar convincing corpses so Raymar can drain their sweet, sweet life force. The immensely likable Tilly is the perfect lead to have the audience automatically hoping for a safe exit while the Sisters never come off as evil just human and naive enough to take things a bit too far. Nostalgia mingles well with some “hard” PG shenanigans making for a cozy watch that takes its time but eventually lets loose in a satisfying supernatural last act.
