REST IN PIECES
Chalk up another for the "really bad title" bin


Here's a nugget of brilliantly stupid dialogue for you: "Who occupies the vacant house across the street?" 

Some of the coolest zombie box art I've seen in a while masks a movie that really has nothing to do with zombies. However, unlike
Revenge Of The Dead (which pulled the same trick), this one doesn't keep promising zombies anyway. 

A woman inherits her crazy old aunt's estate (you can tell she's crazy because she kills herself during the filming of her video will). So she and her squeeze move in and find that the neighbors all freeloaded off of her aunt in life (never paying a cent of rent) and expect to continue to do so in death. Oh, and that the place is haunted too. 

This woman's played by Lorin Jean Vail, who can't act for shit. She's even credited with being in the delightful Decline Of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, but I don't know what she was doing in there. The chick playing the maid is a major fox, though, and I couldn't find out what the actress' name was. Ah, well. One less restraining order for me, I guess.

  While this boasts a fairly disturbing scene when we first see that there's something seriously wrong with the neighbors, and one of those rare "movie metal" soundtracks that actually kind of half works, it's not anything really special overall. Ultimately, it's mostly notable for those creepy neighbors (especially that blind guy). Directed by Jose Ramon Larraz, again.
