- Lisa - Chandu's daughter, this girl has the fine body shape of a 2X4.
- Chandu - Magician who delved into the magic of Cthulhu (H.P. Lovecraft's written work - good horror - bad movie). He gets possessed but resists and dives into a pit.
- Hawk - Leader of the gang, terrible thing is he seems to be the smart one. Get's run through by about nine "amazing flying" knives.
- Eva - Entirely dependent on Hawk, kinda pretty though, she get's eaten by ivy. Yes ivy.
- Chris - Eva's brother, spends most of the film possessed.
- Billy - Hefty, dumb, ugly... ...he drowns in a shower filled with blood.
- Candy - Hefty girl, guess who she's paired with! Claws pull her into the refrigerator.
- Felix - Mute assistant to Chandu, this man has some eyebrows. Billy slays him.

| There are quite a few fun goofs in this movie, especially Chris walking by as an extra in a scene when he has just been shot in the leg (First video below - it's pretty blatant.) and Eva's pistol changing from a small 9mm to a large .45 caliber. So Hawk kills a drug dealer, in an amusement park, but while stealing a car for the getaway Chris takes a bullet in the leg. The gang takes Chandu, Lisa, and Felix captive at gunpoint and uses them as cover to leave the amusement park. Hiding out in the magician's house while tending Chris' wound things begin to happen, all revolving around a door in the basement. Meanwhile - a bit part actor waits outside for most of the film, entering and immediately getting shot by Eva (why we call them bit part actors). Plenty of spooky effects: flying knives and plants, possession, blood filled showers, and claws coming out of appliances. Chandu began practicing black magic and it killed his first assistant, who was his wife, now it's growing stronger. When the smoke and confusion clears only Lisa and Chris are left, of course in love... ...ugh. This is a great movie with a group, I'd even increase it's rating by a slime drop if watched thus. |

|
- Magician's assistants are in mortal danger, bursting into flame is a full possibility.
- Magic is much easier to do in movies.
- Amusement park security guards handle murders and attempted murders.
- Everybody leaves the tunafish sandwiches intended for dinner laying out all day.
- A three story house uses all of four fuses.
- Playing darts with the painting of a man's dead wife is wrong.
- The best way to simulate rain on a car's windshield is with a hose.
- Cthulhu possesses typewriters and refrigerators.
- Ivy is carnivorous.

- 11 mins - Why in the world is Chris' voice dubbed in?
- 13 mins - He is not kicking that guy! He is kicking the back of his own foot!
- 13 mins - We just watched Chris get shot in the leg but here he is walking by as an extra...
- 16 mins - He didn't stab him three times it was once and Billy kicked him in the back not the head. Somebody get me new bit part actors.
- 49 mins - Finally, Eva in a bra - about time.
- 55 mins - One moment she's taller than the fridge, next minute it is taller than her.
- 72 mins - RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST POTTED PLANTS!
- 73 mins - She's holding a 9mm, no it's a .45, no it's a 9mm again!
- Ending Credits-Every single name in here except the actors is of a Spanish origin.
