Beschwörung: Directed by Paul Harrison. With John Ireland, Faith Domergue, John Carradine, Carole Wells. A director is filming on location in a house where seven murders were committed. The caretaker warns them not to mess with things they do not understand (the murders were occult related), but the director wants to be as authentic as possible and has his cast re-enact rituals that took place in the house thus summoning a ghoul from the nearby cemetery to bump the whole film crew off one by one.

“…but Iu0026#39;ve seen better too.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story here is predictable–a film crew trying to film a horror movie in a place where murders occurred. Three guesses what happens. This isnu0026#39;t a total bomb–the cast is fairly good with pros John Ireland, Faith Domergue and John Carradine giving the best performances. Itu0026#39;s reasonably well-made–for a low budget film. Just donu0026#39;t expect any nudity, swearing, blood OR gore (the film has a very mild PG rating). I was never totally bored–itu0026#39;s OK viewing on a quiet night. I saw it on video–it was a HORRIBLE print–very dark and some scenes were impossible to see. Still I didnu0026#39;t hate it and it does have a cool ending which surprised me–basically nothing happens up till then so it catches you off guard. Worth seeing but only if youu0026#39;re a horror film completest.”
