Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUniversal Pictures was originally going to release a trilogy of Tales from the Crypt (1989) movies, but plans were scrapped after Bordello of Blood (1996) failed at the box-office. This movie was not planned as a Tales from the Crypt (1989) movie. It is a loose remake of I Walked with a Zombie (1943).

The story is that those involved removed references to "Tales From the Crypt" after their second movie bombed. This was probably a wise idea, although the same sensibility and tone is obvious in this picture.
I loved seeing Jennifer Grey in a leading role, and appreciated that they tried to update "I Walked With a Zombie". Not sure they actually succeeded, though. Despite a good cast and some decent scares and kills, I just did not find myself all that interested in this one.
