Mausoleum (1983)
2/10
This was... uhm, something else alright...
7 April 2019
Granted I wasn't expecting much from a movie from 1983, especially since it was a movie that I hadn't even heard about, much less knew existed prior to stumbling upon it in 2019. But given the fact that it is a horror movie, then that was sufficient enough to make me pick it up and watch it.

In terms of plotline and story, then "Mausoleum" was less than mediocre. Actually the storyline was so simplistic that it was almost an insult to the audience. I have to admit that I lost interest in the movie very quickly, and the fact that the entire movie seemed to be made up without a proper coherent script as they went along really didn't help much on my enjoyment.

As for the special effects. Sure, the movie was from 1983, but even for that period the special effects in the movie was less than mediocre. It was especially awful watching a still frame with the eyes painted green. That just made no sense that they opted for something that simplistic.

"Mausoleum" is by no means an outstanding or memorable horror movie, and I dozed off once or twice along the way. Can't really claim to have been missing out on anything important to the storyline during my brief moments of snoring.

I have watched it, and take heed, because this was an abysmal movie. There is nothing in this movie that would make me pick it up and watch it a second time, because it was an ordeal in itself getting through it the first time.
