Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

jrd_73 I tend to like 1980's horror films. They were a part of my youth. Alas, Mausoleum is not a good one, although there are a couple points of interest. The film boasts a cool looking monster, which was later reused with a couple of minor altercations in the Unnameable movies (make up artist Christopher Biggs worked on both films). The lighting effects in the crypt sequences do generate some nice atmosphere (dig the green light). Oh, and Bobbi Bresee (a pretty but wooden actress) is topless three times in the movie. However, these pluses cannot compensate for awkward pacing issues and a really dumb script that appears to be a first draft. This demon, who slumbers in the mausoleum, possess the first born female of one family. That is providing the first born comes into the mausoleum. Here is a suggestion, if the demon cannot possess anyone unless she comes into the mausoleum, then DON'T GO INTO THE MAUSOLEUM. One could move their family to another state or, at the very least, one could find another cemetery to burying her loved ones other than the one housing the cursed mausoleum. In addition to being slow and silly, there are also some questionable stereotypes. The film throws in a "funny" black maid with all the sensitivity of a 1940's B programmer giving the kids in the South some comic relief.There are worse horror films out there, but is that much of a recommendation? Buy the movie poster, skip the movie.

dbborroughs One of the truly awful horror films ever made. I saw this in the movie have been scarred ever since. The plot has a young girl going into the haunted crypt of her family activating a family curse that causes her years later to become possessed and turn into a monster. This film is dull boring and incredibly stupid. Sure the monster looks okay, but everything else is just bad the visual effects especially. I remembered only three things about this film the first time I saw it, star Bobbie Bressee's shower scene, Lawanda Paige's wise cracking (which is the one real shining moment) and how bad this film is. The only reason I tried it again last night was that it was on a double feature DVD and I wanted to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It was. This is one to avoid.(I can not imagine that anyone in their right mind would want to listen to a commentary track, but there is one on the disc.)

Rick Hobson There seemed to be a lot of these movies, all probably in reaction to "The Exorcist" and "Rosemary's Baby" in latter-seventies. You can add this film to the list including The Car, The Wraith (with a young Charlie Sheen, if memory serves, The Herse and Devil's Rain. The Dunwich Horror... well... it fits in this category, but is almost too good to include. Besides, it at least has Sandra Dee! And now a SLIGHT spoiler warning as this has been mentioned in previous comments...The secret family name NOMED was a rather obvious plot hint. If I were marrying someone with that name, one of the first things -I- would probably realize was that it indeed was DEMON spelled backwards.I think I would insist on a hyphenated name. Like Susan Cthulu-Smythe or some-such.This film would probably be a good selection for a collection of films which are "so bad, they're good."

Coventry I haven't got the slightest idea what the hell the story of "Mausoleum" was all about, but it sure was fun to watch! This is another imbecile and over-the-top cheesy 80's horror flick about demonic possession with an awfully bad script and hilarious special effects. Around her 30th birthday, beautiful Susan starts to suffer from the ancient family curse that also caused her mother to die when Susan was ten. Now and whenever she feels demonic, Susan can light her eyes funky green and whatever poor soul she's focusing on dies a very unpleasant death. The script foresees absolutely no logic or suspense, and the only enjoyable sequences (apart from Bobbie Bresee's many nude-scenes) are the imaginative murders. Her elder sister, for example, is lift up over a balcony and her body is torn open while floating around! Quite gory, but not at all scary. The origin of the family curse remains vague and the whole climax is very, VERY lame. Not even an exorcism or a battle between demonic forces. There are about a million better films handling about demons and possession, but if you have a soft spot for low-budget 80's cheese, you might find "Mausoleum" mildly entertaining.
