Julie and her crew go down to the ghost town of Goldfield hoping to get some juicy stuff about the nearby hotel that's supposedly haunted by Elizabeth Walker, a young woman who had been killed after her wealthy guy found out that the baby she was carrying was not his own. The crew want to get video of her as she prowls the hotel's corridors looking for said baby, who was also murdered.
The big selling point for me in renting this film was the sheer fact the Roddy Piper was in it. Visons of past greatness such as "They Live", "Hell Comes to Frogtown" (and to a lesser degree "No Contest") danced in my head. I was kind of hoping to see a nice ghost story as well. Sadly this mess of a film accomplished neither as I soon sadly realized that Piper's character was dreadfully under-developed and left him nothing to work with. And the ghost story was predictable, trite, and above all dreadfully boring. Leave this one in the bargain bin where it belongs.
My Grade: D-
DVD Extras: a stills gallery; a trailer for this film; and trailers for "Dark Reel", "Baseline Killer", & "Carnivorous"
