Frightmare

1983 · 86 min

A silly, gory eighties slasher that plays its showbiz vanity and corpse-desecration premise for campy, cheap-thrill laughs.

Tagline: To the limit...
Overview: Drama students decide to pay tribute to their favorite horror star by stealing his body from his crypt for a farewell party. They fail to realize their violation of the tomb has triggered powerful black magic, and Conrad hasn't taken his final bows yet.
How it feels: Campy, dark, absurd and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Death, obsession, celebrity, revenge
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
