Evil Spirits itself isn't that great, the story is your typical loony murderous landlady film that has been done a few times. What lifts it up are Karen Black and Michael Berryman. Arte Johnson and Virginia Mayo are terrific in this as well. They are the saving grace of what could have been another early 90s slasher/horror flick. The pure insanity of it all, the man being held prisoner in the basement who is killing those who venture down there, the drunk who stumbles through everything believing he is suffering with the DTs, the social worker who puts two and two together. This could have ended up being a disjointed mess, but with clever acting and some truly crazy moments, especially from Karen Black's character, this has ended up being an entertaining horror movie. This is one for fans of Black and Berryman who is given a pretty decent role here as a writer who likes to peep on women. Grab the popcorn for this one.
