'Necromancer' (1988) – Dusty Nelson.
Uncommonly pretty blonde girl next door Julie Johnson (Elizabeth Kaitan) is violently assaulted and then later callously blackmailed by a perverse pair of juiced-up plebeians. Righteously seeking vengeance, a justifiably angered Julie is given eldritch powers by an evilly duplicitous necromancer (Lois Masten) which fatefully turns her teenage life into a living hell!!! This amusingly goofy, high camp 80s Satanic Schlocker is corporeally enlivened by the lustrous presence of curvaceous, big-haired bombshell Kaitan. Satan's Sadist Russ Tamblyn is entertainingly sleazy, and the quintessentially 80s score and delightfully rudimentary practical FX are not without their very own creakily nostalgic charms. I certainly wouldn't openly admit this in public, but I would have replied to the 'Revenge Wanted' advert, hey!!! if it's good enough for The Equalizer, it's good enough for 'The Necromancer'. I have very little doubt the makers of 'Necromancer' were quite meticulous in their research, since no Californian witch worth her saltpetre is ever seen necromancing without their very own conspicuously crimson draped, demon-infested garage!
