Few horror films
slice, dice and
remix so many genres
of sexploitation
as gleefully and
lovingly as The
Halfway House
In its all too brief
84 minutes, we're
witness to nunsploitation,
reform school girls,
70's style gore,
naked human sacrifice
to a Lovecraftian
elder god, and much,
much more.
Young girls are
disappearing around
the Mary Magdalen
Halfway House for
Troubled Girls.
Desperate to find
her sister, Larissa
Morgan (Janet Tracy
Keijser from House
on Haunted Hill)
goes undercover
to investigate the
Catholic-run institution.
Once inside, she
meets a nasty nun,
a peculiar priest,
a homicidal handyman,
and lots of bad
girls with attitude.
Larissa endures
catfights, corporal
punishment and long
hot showers before
she learns the ultimate
secret of the Halfway
House - a huge one-eyed
monster with tentacles
and a taste for
female flesh!
Cult Queen Mary
Woronov stars as
Sister Cecelia in
the film by Writer/
Director Kenneth
J. Hall (creator
of the Puppet Master
series).
