Curse of the Blue Lights (1988)

How bad is it? In some ways, it's competent, in others, it's wretched.
Should you see it? Not really.

Most of the films I cover here look terrible and cheap. This one looks like it had a budget, or at least made good use of what little money they had. Teens get abducted to an underground lair of ghouls who need sacrifices to awaken a demon; they spend the film trying to escape. The ghouls makeup isn't terrible, but hits that uncanny cross between silly and ugly; the demon is actually done fairly well. The lighting and sound are okay. The acting is sub-par and the plot sounds like it should work. Unfortunately, the film doesn't work - you can't get this dull without bad direction, which sinks it.
