Haunting Fear (1990) – Fred Olen Ray.

The magnetic Brinke Stevens delivers another consummate crazy in B-maestro Fred Olen Ray's goofily entertaining adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's 'The Premature Burial'. Plagued by persistently macabre visions, and finally driven insensible by adulterous husband's cruel machinations (Jay Richardson), Victoria's (Stevens) grave nightmares are brought to monstrous life in Haunting Fear The fundamental difference between A.I.P's 60s Poe Cycle, and their 90s iteration is less refined photography, a demonstrative increase in T&A, additional gore, and a wickedly effective cameo from the charismatic Michael Berryman, so, absolutely no complaints here! Ultimately, a poor man's Poe, nonetheless Haunting Fear has a notable supporting cast, with lissom Scream siren Brinke Stevens vivid performance as the increasingly disturbed Vicki, providing the fearfully beating heart to a B-Horror feature that would otherwise be altogether hollow. Alongside the delectably demented Brinke's ferociously stab-frenzied climax, Haunting Fear! has an atmospheric score, with an especially memorable final credit theme.
