230. Lurkers (1988)

May 17, 2014

In this creepy little film, ten year old Cathy is haunted by spirits that come out of the walls at night and reach out for her. Cathy's mother kills her father and tries to kill her but she escapes. Several years later Cathy has a new boyfriend and life seems to be going pretty well for her even though she still has some visions and a brother who blames her for the deaths of their parents. Her boyfriend invites her to a party at his new office which happens to be the same building that Cathy grew up in. She refuses to go inside and ends up witnessing a murder and getting chased around the block until she is forced to go back into the old building. When she gets to the party things go even further downhill, and she finds out that the building she grew up in is a gateway to hell. She also finds out that there are many gateways to hell around the world and that is where all the bad people are born. The party guests then turn into the lurkers who haunted her as a child and try to drag her down with them. I thought the film was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes watching obscure but classy horror films.
