Tagline(s):	A Terrifying, Screaming Plunge to the Depths of Hell!
	Mara - Queen of the black witches and her wolf-pack of voluptuous virgins invade Satan's tortured realm of the unknown!
	Probing the Black Depths of Hell!

Nomination Year: 1997

SYNOPSIS:

IMDb.com says: "Lorraine and Mark enter the world of witchcraft where Mara foretells the future and helps them remember their past lives. When a series of mysterious murders begin to occur, they turn to Dr. Helsford for advice."

Here's my take: There's this witch, you see. Murders happen, and tedium ensues. And after it's all over, that's 73 minutes of your life you can NEVER EVER EVER have back.

Smithee Award Nominations

Worst Science
"Scientific" Explanation of Psychometry The totally scientific art of "psychometrizing." It involves psychic radiation. Or maybe psychic imprinting. Or probably something else entirely. It wasn't very convincing.

Acting Appropriately Stupid
Gunshots? Where? A young redhead hears gunshots, and runs upstairs past the strange man with the gun. And it's not that she didn't see the gunman, either, that would make it a clip for a different category.

Directors

Director	Claim to Fame
Ted V. Mikels	Apparently lived the exploitative director's lifestyle. And, apparently, still making films.

Cast

Actor	Character	Claim to Fame
Lila Zaborin	Mara	This is it.
Victor Izay	Dr. Helsford	Was Mr. Putnam in Wild Hogs, Justice Wilson in Young Guns, and the titular (ha ha) Dr. Sex.
Tom Pace	Mark	Small parts on a bunch of TV shows; was Buz Nichols in the awful Girl in Gold Boots and Eric Porter in the even- awfuller The Astro-Zombies.
Leslie McRae	Lorraine	Real name Leslie McRay; was Ted's uncredited girl in Valley of the Dolls; Cindy in Coffy; Michelle in Girl in Gold Boots; and Cleopatra in Death Race 2000.
