Good Makeup But Little Else

The basic plot of "Curse of the Blue Lights" revolves around a decrepit group of ghouls living beneath a Colorado cemetery. Aside from consuming the dead, they are plotting to raise the petrified remains of a towering entity. Enter a group of teenagers who get involved caught up in their plot and must struggle to stop the ghouls and avoid a gruesome fate.

Apparently inspired to some extent by the works of writer H.P. Lovecraft, this low-budget offering has surprisingly sophisticated makeup effects, but little else. The acting is poor and some of the dialogue is bad to the point of pathetic. Some is evidently intended for humor, but the result appears rather childish. Strong points include sets and some of the shooting locations as well as the special makeup effects. Die hard fans of ghoul and zombie flicks might have some interest in this one, but most other viewers should steer clear.

Intriguing title, good box cover, bad movie

It's been a long time since I've seen this but I remember being tempted by the cover and the title in our local video store for months before I took a gamble and rented it. Boy, what a disappointment! I've got a pretty good memory when it comes to movie plots and the fact that I can't remember much about this one except for the gruesome makeup isn't a good sign. Like the other review here says, the script was horrid and the acting was worse. I get the idea that it was made by some guys with good makeup and FX skills... but not a lot else.

Despite being pretty bad I'd actually like to see it again to refresh my memory and see if there might be something worthwhile I'd missed the first time. Sometimes even the worst movies have redeeming qualities or a gem of a (badly executed) idea.

Sunny Hills cemetery of ghouls.

A group of horny and obnoxious teenagers find the corpse of the Muldoon Man buried under Colorado cemetery.The ancient mythological creature Muldoon Man has an army of zombies and ghouls,who follow his orders and are hungry for some teenage blood.I remember having seen "Curse of the Blue Lights" on Polish cable TV many years ago under the title of "Przeklenstwo niebieskich swiatel".The acting is bad and the plot is childish,but I must say that make-up effects of ghastly ghouls are excellent.The film lacks nudity and gore and it resembles "Spookies" and "Neon Maniacs".Die hard zombie fans may want to check this very rare local oddity out.I doubt that it will ever be released on DVD.6 ghouls out of 10.
