Movie Reviews of Elvira's Haunted Hills
Movie Review: THE QUEEN OF HALLOWEEN IS BACK - ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS IS HILL-ARIOUS !!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
For those not in the know, ELVIRA is the amazing creation of actress extraordinaire CASSANDRA PETERSON!!! Die hard fans have been waiting for a second vehicle for sooo long and will be rewarded with this wonderfully wacky parody/tribute of the 1960's Corman/Poe/Price horror films. ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS is not a sequel to the much beloved 1988 camp classic ELVIRA MISTRESS OF THE DARK, but rather an entirely new an equally fulfilling celuloid romp. I find ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS 1851 Carpathia the perfect realm for ELVIRA to be forever cemented in. We find our heroine surrounded in Gothic atmosphere haunting the same fogged hallways she used to host on MOVIE MACABRE, all the while spoofing too many Comedy/Horror genres and cliches to count. ELVIRA's in top form both physically and comically; as her impecable line delivery and enchanting gorgeous animated face once again crown her THE QUEEN OF HALLOWEEN - not to mention the humor genre Camp! The film has some hilarious moments and is a brilliant homage to the above mentioned people, films, and stories. Made on a shoestring budget and filmed in Romania; this movie nonetheless has some stricking sets, interesting location work, and a emotive soundtract featuring the Russian State Orchestra. We find ELVIRA on route to "gay paree" so she can do her "Yes I Can-Can" review with her French Maid only to get stranded at a haunted castle. There we have the crazed Lord of the castle (Richard O'Brian), his evil wife, his past dead wife who just happens to look exactly like ELVIRA, a Stable Stud, witty dialogue, and that rather nasty pit and pendulum in the dungeon. Sucked into a tornado of family disfunson, will Elvira and her French Maid ever get out of the creepy castle with their lives!?! My only resurvation about this work is that at times it could have a little more bite, and that the secend half needs a little more infusion of humor admits all the drama. Despite these minor grievances ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS does have plenty going for it, and I think will please please her radically diverse fanbase. I just love this film and find it a hell of alot of fun - so I strongly recommend it to anyone who's in a campy silly cheeze-ball sort of mood! I'm gratful that it was ever made at all, as sadly the ELVIRA character has only stared in two featured films. Grossly underused by the Hollywood establishment, I can't help but think of all the great "Camp Extravaganzas" she could have done already that we could be enjoy today. On the sunny side enjoy the two films of hers we do have and let ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS bring a little laughter into your world - UNPLEASANT DREAMS !!!!!
