This over-the-top horror spoof tells the spooky tale of a couple who buy an old, decrepit mansion only to find that it's haunted - by dead, gay disco dancers. A hauntingly 70's score accompanies this totally campy stab at the old haunted house flick. ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

  • Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net

    Wastes a potentially brilliant premise for a cult classic with pedestrian execution, lame jokes and sequins instead of character development.
