The movie that Ken Foree never wanted you to see! This sucker gets the Anuby Award for WORST TITLE EVER! Okay, this movie is about the troubles faced by the staff and health nuts at the Starland Health Spa (pull a MOTEL HELL and short out the neon sign and you get "Death Spa") when the restless spirit of Cathy (the dead wife of the Spa's owner) takes over. Hey, if you didn't figure this out 5 minutes into the movie, then you deserve to have it spoiled! So anyway, bad shit starts happening at the Spa: Chlorine chemical burnings in the steam room, extending locker racks with a mind of their own, and acid spewing sprinkler systems are a few of these little inconveniences. Death Spa owner Mike is meanwhile trying to make things work with his scarred lover Laura (first victim of the Spa's wrath) while flirting with every chick there and trying to fit in enough time for bickering with the Spa's computer programmer David... who's also Cathy's twin brother. Thanx to a psychomatrist guy that Mike goes to, we learn that Cathy was crippled while giving birth to Mike's child. To make it a double whammy, the kid died during delivery. Cathy grew bitter and resentful of everything, and soon took the easy (yet incredibly painful) way out and torched her gimpy ass all to Hell. Now she's sharing the body of her obsessive twin brother David (kinda like Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin in.... that.... movie) in a twisted attempt to ruin Mike, his business, and his innocent by-standard friends and employees! Cathy takes her opportunity and fucks with Mike's Mardi Gras party till Dave tries fighting her control. But all Cathy really wants is for Mike to go back to Hell with her (aw, how sweet). Mike's love for Laura is too strong though, so Cat turns the party up a notch from "drunken hangout" to "senseless gore orgy" complete with zombie fish, a blood hungry blender, and exploding mirrors thanx to the Spa's computerized controls and a dash of spook power. But, Mike uses his brains (haha, that's so ludicrous it's funny!) and overloads the power, setting the control room and David/Cathy to "explosions and flames" mode. It ends with Dave/Cathy's charred form still talking... then it's eye bursts. The end. This thing's cool if your eyes are hard up for a gorefest or you're a Ken Foree completest, but that's about it. Or, if you just have this thing for movies with REALLY corny names (then you're utterly H.O.P.E.L.E.S.S.). Also, besides Foree (who plays one of Mike's friends/employees) , Hitchcock himself worked on this film! Yeah, swear to the Gods! Check the credits and you'll see for yourself "Ron Hitchcock Sound Designer"! Who'd you think I was talking about?...
