I caught this movie's premier on British TV and have to say that compared to the bulk of 21st Century horror drivel this one wasn't too bed. It stars 80's Scream Queen Barbara Crampton (she still looks good) as an actress who gave birth to a stillborn baby. Only that baby did not actually die and she became some sort of Carrie, only with power over electricity. Kayleigh Gilbert played the part of Tess well, but I suspect she was a few years older than the 16 year old that she was playing. There are a couple of decent jump scenes (one is a complete rip off of Carrie),the plot was engaging and fairly original, plus at under 80 minutes the film is well paced.

Odd and mild Carrie/Frankenstein-lite story about a stillborn child brought back to life by an electrical storm, who then goes in search of her actress mother. Tess can control electricity and has the power to use it to kill people.

Prolific actress Barbara Crampton plays Lena, who had the baby (Tess) at 19, and Tess has come looking for her 16 years later. Crampton is a good actress, but even she can't convince as a 35 year old. Equally, what has Tess been doing for the first 16 years of her life? It seems she has been living with the creepy morgue attendant who abducted her, but it is surprising her powers don't seem to have made an impact during those formative years.

The film is lifted by Kayleigh Gilbert who is very good as Tess. Wide-eyed and slightly eccentric, Gilbert's performance actually rises above the material. My score is 6 out of 10.

A "Carrie meets Frankenstein" movie, which though a decent watch, was spoiled for me by the film trying to pass 60 year old Barbara Compton off as a 35 year old! Yes...Barbara is still a beautiful woman and looks great, but playing a 35 year old was a mission too far...and this put the film on the back foot right from the start for me.
