Review – Black Magic Mansion

A group of juvenile delinquents on the lam from the law hide out in an old mansion that turns out to be the abode of a magician and his daughter. Somehow a demon ends up unleashed, with predictable results. I’ve also seen this under the title Cthulhu Mansion, and though the credits feature a nod to the works of H.P. Lovecraft, really there’s little Lovecraftiana to be found here. The credits should more honestly reflect the debt to The Evil Dead, from which the poorly-written script steals shamelessly. Wish I’d skipped it
