Review – Sometimes They Come Back

For me the main attraction of this picture is that part of it was shot at Wyandotte High School, which is just down the street from my house and where a good friend used to teach. Beyond that, however, this is yet another mediocre horror movie based on a short story by Stephen King. Our hero (Tim Matheson) returns to his home town to teach only to find the ghosts of a childhood tragedy still very much alive. Some of his students die and are replaced by the vengeful zombies of leather-jacketed bullies from the teacher’s past. If one has to sit through Welcome Back to Hell, Kotter, it works better – or at least faster – as a story than it does as a movie. Mildly amusing
