THE STORY: Zzzzzz...Zzzzz...arumph..huh?... Oh. Sorry. I fell asleep. The movie wasn't very exciting.

Brian Fields is an out work commodities broker. His wife, Julie, works in a museum. Their landlord, Francis Redman shows Brian his ouija board, which he uses to get advice on the stock market. The stock tip the board gives them helps Brian make a modest sum of money. When Brian goes to Redman's apartment to thank him, Redman tells him he has cancer. He gives Brian his ring and leaps off the balcony to his death. During the funeral   Redman's estranged wife comes in and pokes her thumb through the corpses skull to make sure he's dead. After the funeral Brian takes the ouija board from Redman's apartment. The spirit of the board gives Brian some stock advice but Brian doesn't have the money. He borrows 50,000 dollars from a slimy investor, Finch, that he has to pay back in 24 hours. Unfortunately the next day the stock loses its value and Brian can't pay Finch back. Finch and his henchman are prepared to cut off Brian's pinky finger in retribution. A drop of Brian's blood lands on the ouija board (He carried it to Finch's office to help explain...hey, I just watch 'em, I don't write 'em.) The blood gives the spirit power and it kills Finch and his goon with a display of poltergeist-like activity. Stunned, Brian runs home. The next day he discovers that his investment has turned and he has made a lot of money. The police have think Finch's death was a mafia hit so he's in the clear. But Brian decides to burn the board in the furnace. When he tries the spirit knocks a power line into him and 'kills' him. Then the spirit inhabits his body, while Brian's ghost is trapped in a mirror. (Well, mirrors...Brian seems to be able to travel from mirror to mirror.) The fake Brian lavishes Julie with gifts and romance, but it has a sinister purpose....the spirit is an ancient demon and plans on getting Julie pregnant so she can give birth to a demon child. When Julie has second thoughts about having a baby, 'Brian' makes a pass at her friend Lisa. This upsets Julie as she was there! The next day 'Brian' goes to see Lisa. She doesn't want to talk to him, much less screw him so it kills her! Meanwhile, Julie goes to Redman's apartment and finds her wedding ring and a lock of her hair under a demon idol. Brian must have put it there and she realizes what is going on. She makes contact with the real Brian's spirit and he tells her to go see Mrs. Redman. Julie does so, but the fake Brian is after her. Mrs. Redman gives her a dagger that can kill the spirit and protect her from its powers. Julie rushes home, but the fake Brian arrives at Mrs. Redman's and kills her. Then it goes after Julie at home. The spirit makes short work of her though and plans to rape her, but Brian's spirit intervenes. Julie is able to force the demon-spirit from Brian's body by cutting of the finger with Redman's ring on it. Back in his own body Brian shoots the dagger at the demon, with a crossbow and destroys it. Having had enough of the supernatural Brian and Julie move away.

I can't call this a really bad movie but it damn sure wasn't exciting. The spirit killed only four people and with the exception of Finch, not in a really interesting way. This movie may scare someone in a world of millions, but it really bored the pants off of me.

Best Lines: "I'm not going to kill you...I'm going to [unwrite] you!"- The fake Brian to Julie.

1.) OOO- Julie saw her reflection in a well lit room...scary. NOT! Good Gravy, I hope this movie has more scares than this.

2.) No wonder Brian is out of work! He can't be too bright! He borrows $50,000 from an obviously crooked guy with only 24 hours to pay it back and at 25% interest! Then when he doesn't have the money he goes back to the guy carrying a ouija board! Idiot!

3.) When the fake Brian tries to rape Lisa she's fresh out of the shower and only has panties and a towel on. The towel of course, falls off, but she makes it to a drawer with a gun in it. Brian is hot on her heels, and she takes a moment to pick up her towel and cover her boobs. Why? Brian has already demonstrated magic powers and an intent to rape or kill her...or both! (Plus he already saw her boobs) Ladies, would you just shoot him when you found your gun or would you take a few precious moments to make sure his last sight wasn't your gazoombas?

4.) Too bad Mrs. Redman didn't have two of those magic protection things when she gave it to Julie. She may have lived.

5.) In an attempt to manufacture some kind of tension, this film would have us believe that Julie would have the time to take a functioning crossbow off of her wall, somehow fit this dagger into it so it can be fired like an arrow, pull the bow back in a firing position etc, all the time while this demon is after her and in the same room? Loading a crossbow takes time! The 'fake' Brian isn't being held at bay, he's just freaking letting her do it! After the demon is seperated from Brian's body, Brian uses the crossbow to fire the dagger. I still ain't buyin' it. All either of them had to do was stab the monster! The entire crossbow thing gave me a headache.

NUDITY AND SEX: There's a sex scene with Julie and Brian and we get to see Lisa boobs.

HUH?: Is it that easy to poke your thumb through the skull of a dead man? Mrs. Redman didn't look like a really strong person.

Francis Redman owned the building. Weeks after his death all of his things are still in his apartment...and its unlocked! Brian and Julie seem to have free access to it! Why? Redman killed himself in front of Brian! I'm sure there had to be a police investigation, but his rather valuable possessions weren't impounded? Why didn't they go to Mrs. Redman? Even if she didn't want them why didn't she have them put into storage? Any bozo could just walk and help themselves to Redman's stuff. If I lived in that building I'd have raided his liquor cabinet and had a nice new set of furniture!

THE TALLY: Yawn. This movie was boring! I think that's the best thing I can say about it. If you can stay awake you might enjoy it.
