Rest In Pieces (1987) **1/2
José Ramón Larraz's Rest In Pieces (1987) is an entertaining and funny haunted house film with an excrutiatingly bad (frequently nude) lead actress, hilarious dialogue, and very little logic. The death cult members in the film are very stock characters but a lot of fun. Dorothy Malone hams it up late-career-Joan Crawford style, which is a blast, and there's even what appears to be a humorous homage to a particularly famous scene from 1955's The Night Of The Hunter (review). A wacky but enjoyable mess.
Recommended for fans of these (better) films: Shock (1977) (review), Rosemary's Baby (1968), The Tenant (1976) (review), The Amityville Horror (1979) (review), and The Changeling (1980) (review).
