Vault Note

Proof that in 1980s Canada, voodoo and vengeance go together like spandex and hairspray.

Programmer's Pick

When a pack of 'trendy teenagers' runs afoul of voodoo justice, the result is pure Canuxploitation mayhem. With a cast that includes Adam West, Tia Carrere, and bodybuilder-turned-zombie Jon Mikl Thor, this undead revenge fantasy is as much about 1980s attitude as it is about horror chills.
