THE HAUNTING PASSION (1983) ** It's everything you would hope from the title. And more! It has the most obvious fades where commercial breaks originally came in. Jane Seymour is an artist married to a retired football player who knows he isn't a very good sportscaster so he isn't...you know, can't...feel amorous. Fortunately for her there's an erotic ghost hanging around the premises doing things like lighting candles, closing doors, showing up in polaroids and, worst of all breaking her husbands' beer mug. With beer in it! Naturally in no time at all she's rolling around the lawn at midnight acting like she's getting fucked by a ghost. What's incredible is the amount of suspense it manages to generate even with horrible acting, a Swiss cheese plot, dialogue that would have been more impressive if the intent had been satire, and every cliché in the Amityville genre. Some of it is John Korty's synthesizer-scary score, but there's no denying that there's something truly mysterious about this film.
