Lewis Vendredi Strikes Again !, 5 January 2001
5/10
Author: William C. Uchtman (aesgaard41@hotmail.com) from Hendersonville, TN

Take one movie with a loyal cult following, steal the premise of "Friday The Thirteenth:The Series" and presto, more cursed objects to drive Ravishing Robey and the talented John D. LeMay nuts! In the third movie, we saw the house destroyed, but what of the objects sold before that movie started. Jane Wyatt recieves a cursed lamp that drives everyone around her nuts and possesses her granddaughter in this fanciful if not illogical film. Patty Duke of "Grave Secrets" plays her daughter-in-law trying to make sense of the script and Zoe Trilling (credited as Geri Betzler and looking wonderfully All-American)from "Night of the Demons" learns the art of terror before going on to play Shirley Fenardi. Oh why couldn't she have been the one to get possessed; she already does it so well. This made for TV movie has no real thrills and a lot of hokey special effects as it tries unsuccessfully to be scary. Truthfully, I was waiting for Micki and Ryan to come save the day, and the movie.
