Original Title:
Retribution
Artist Joe Martinez (Dennis Lipscomb) attempts suicide but survives a fall because he is semi-possessed by the ghost of a murdered businessman who guides Lipscomb through a campaign of revenge on the hoods who turned him into a ghost (or something like that).
There are some bloody mangling scenes as the spirit gets its own back, and lights come on behind walls Hellraiser-style to signify supernatural intervention. An inspired Lipscomb is gleefully unrestrained, and the rest of the cats go over the top with him, in this over-the-top popcorn horror, directed by Guy Magar (Of The A-Team fame, no-less).
A fun trash movie, overlong but with enough horrible death to compensate for a hysterical central performance and some ridiculous plot turns.
