"Rest in Pieces" follows a young woman and her husband who move to the Pennsylvania estate she inherits from her eccentric grandmother who recently committed suicide (on camera!). Pretty soon, it becomes clear that things are not quite normal, as her dead aunt's coterie of bizarre neighbors/friends seem to be sticking around the sprawling property, for reasons unknown. This later entry in Jose Larraz's filmography is not one of his best, but it does have a number of features that, as is the case with many of his films, make it extremely unique. This flick has goofy written all over it, from the oddball bumbling characters, to the abysmal performance by the lead actress, who blurts out some of the most hilarious (and horrible) line deliveries you will ever hear. While "Rest in Pieces" does not offer much in the way of scares, it more than makes up for it with numerous head-scratching moments, borne of a screenplay that is muddled and largely incoherent. Was the great aunt in a death cult? Are they all ghosts? It's hard telling. That being said, goofiness aside, there are a few truly eerie sequences in which the deceased aunt (played by Dorothy Malone) appears as a ghostly figure to her niece. These moments are quite spooky, and offset some of the film's more ridiculous elements. All in all, "Rest in Pieces" is a pretty middling film, and probably one of the weakest in Larraz's filmography--I feel that his other films from this era, particularly as "Edge of the Axe" and "Deadly Manor", both have more redeemable qualities than this does. That being said, "Rest in Pieces" has just enough in the way of absurdity to appeal to '80s schlock fans who are looking for a brainless 90-minute romp. 5/10.

Years ago I wanted to rent this movie at a video store when I tried the store said they no longer carry the movie so I waited like 20 years 20 plus years to finally see this movie anyway I finally saw it and it's about a husband and wife go to some undisclosed country as the wife inherited her aunts house. Then strange things start happening and they are surrounded by weird people Allstate try to expect these previous tenants from the land to previous tenant start making plans against them the movie doesn't make a lot of sense tells us that the previous owners are ghosts but then they going to make a deal with the husband to try and get rid of the wife so are they really closed or they alive and there's a haunted house across the street never gets explored in a way I like this movie but not enough to give us five stars or more is brought to you by the same film company that brought us Edge of the axe which was a very good film and a better movie than this one whereas rest in peace it was kind of a sponge ghost story still there too many loose ends that are never tied up.

I saw this on Tubi and thought, it's going to be your typical cheap schlock, it ended up being a bit better than I thought. The lead actress was terrible but the rest of the cast were okay. The end twist was bungled though. It could have been better but it was free so I am not complaining.

Along with Edge of the Axe and Deadly Manor, Spanish horror director José Ramón Larraz made this movie explicitly for the burgeoning American video rental market. It has all the cheap thrills you want, but it feels like a Michelin star chef just made you a mac and cheese pizza. Helen Hewitt (Lorin Jean Vail, The Patriot) and her husband Bob (Scott Thompson Baker, Open House) have just moved into the country villa of her recently deceased Aunt Catherine. Everyone there is pretty much beyond rude and more in your face hostile to them both, which is only the start of the weirdness they endure. I mean, I would have given up when the corpse of Catherine sat straight up when Helen kissed her. Actually, even before they get there, Helen learns that her father was Catherine's ex-husband and that he died soon after she was born. Her aunt has held a grudge out against the family, but still gives her everything she owns before she commits suicide during the video will by drinking poison milk. Yes, you read that correctly. Jack Taylor - who was in more horror movies than even I have watched, but I'll list out the Nostradamus films, The Ghost Galleon and Female Vampire to start - plays a blind musician who plays a concert while everyone in the town conspires against the two newcomers. Euro horror queen Patty Shepherd also shows up as a character named, get this, Gertrude Stein. It's not great, but the idea of a great movie is in here. But you know me. This is exactly the kind of goofball horror that I love.

After her wealthy Aunt Catherine (Dorothy Malone) commits suicide, Helen (Lorin Jean Vail) and her husband Bob (Scott Thompson Baker) move into the old woman's mansion, where they find that the estate is also home to several staff and tenants, all of whom act very strangely. Soon after, Helen narrowly survives two potentially fatal incidents, during which she sees a ghostly apparition of her aunt; naturally she wants to leave, but her money hungry hubby convinces her to stay while he searches for the fortune supposedly hidden on the estate. As he hunts for the loot, Bob discovers the shocking truth about the weird tenants: they are undead, and are waiting for the return of Aunt Catherine, who also wants her niece to join their ranks. Directed by José Ramón Larraz, who gave us sexy '70s vampire classic Daughters of Darkness (AKA Vampires), Rest in Pieces is a tacky slice of '80s horror trash that, unsurprisingly, delivers plenty in the way of T&A courtesy of its star Lorin Jean Vail, who definitely wasn't cast for her thespian skills. The sexy blonde takes a bath, has sex with her husband, gets out of bed naked three times, and is pushed into a swimming pool wearing only her panties-all within her acting range-but when called upon to emote, she fails to convince. Not that the rest of the cast are much better: those playing the weird tenants are also fairly awful, with wild-eyes and leering grins showing us that they're quite crazy. The film starts well enough, with Helen saying goodbye to her dead aunt at the funeral home, when the body suddenly sits bolt upright: it's an effective scare, but it's the only one in the film, the rest of the action being cheesy nonsense lacking in genuine atmosphere, frights and chills. In addition to the nudity, Larraz also provides a smattering of gore - the murder of a musical quartet and the dismemberment of their bodies, a severed hand that spurts blood, and a man having his head pulled off during a fight with Bob - but it's not all that convincing. The director wraps up proceedings with a suitably schlocky ending in which Helen, believing that she has escaped the horror, finds herself trapped by the maniacs on an airplane. 5/10. Moderately entertaining nonsense.

This movie is not good, it's supposed to be horror, but it didn't frighten me at all. It has a great plot (they really thought about it this time), but it's made in a cheap way. Like for example: there's a piece of clothing flying, but you can see that it's held up by the camera man! These things and the bad acting make the horror movie a B movie. I rated it a 4 on 10 because there are much worse horror movies and because it has a great background idea (some chick being terrorized by her dead aunt and the inhabitants of her bungalows).

Helen (Lorin Jean Vail) inherits an old house and the surrounding property from her Carol Channing look-a-like Aunt. When she and her husband arrive there, they find an odd group of folks living in the surrounding houses. Odd in the sense that they like to kill people and, even worse, don't pay rent! Directed by Jose Ramon Larraz (under the pseudonym Joseph Braunstein), this is a pretty weak horror film that might be notable solely for the horrible lead performance by Vail. She is spectacularly bad, which should be expected as she was an interviewee in THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Part II. There is one creepy moment where the evil group (which features Spanish film vets Patty Shepard and Jack Taylor) slaughter some classical musicians, but not much else. There is also a nice twist in the plot about half way through, but the disinterested direction doesn't help it have the "umph" it should. Which is a shame as Larraz made some atmospheric stuff in the 70s (VAMPYRES, DEVIATION, THE HOUSE THAT VANISHED). Sadly, nothing happens that is nearly as cool as the cover art depicting a rotting zombie bursting through a door.

"Rest in Pieces" is not a very good movie. In fact, I found this movie to be quite a bore. It did have its moments, however, and was at least good enough to keep my interest. The plot of "Rest in Pieces" is as follows: A greatly disliked woman poisons herself and leaves her money and estate to her niece. The niece and her husband then go to the small village in which the estate lies to see what they inherited. Once there, they find that the village is a front for a religious cult of undead people. The cult then is after the niece, trying to kill her and resurrect her into their cult. This movie, like most eighties horror movies, had cheap gore effects and was full of nudity. Though some of the actors (the priest comes to mind) were convincing, most of the acting was bad. There were an uncountable number of plotholes (there was a part in which a dead person suddenly sat up. The undertaker simply said "Don't worry, that's common" and pushed it back down). On the upside, there were many scenes, such as the one mentioned above, that caused unintentional laughter. There is also plenty of nudity, which I need not say is a good thing. This is one worth avoiding. My rating: 3 out of 10
