WENDY

























WENDY... this little curate's egg of a video was located in one of my many pilgrimages to PILL CAR BOOT sale. It's a fairly well-made thriller with vague supernatural elements.
The plot concerns a remote Hotel, Mario the hero of the piece is called out to undertake repairs on the property, which seems immediately creepy to him and his brother who assists him.
The pair get caught up in the Hostess's plot to murder her strange Father and claim his estate. Things take a turn for the macabre as it seems the old fellow has eerie magic powers, wooooooo.
Notable for it's terrible English dubbing, where Italian accents are badly faked. 4/10

WENDY: look mario, help me off the old fool and i'll share his riches with you...
MARIO: i dont'-a-know. i'm just ze simple tradesman.
WENDY: please! just one little clout with your plumbing tools... he's in there (points to door)
MARIO opens door and enters room: prepare-a-to die, old man- GASPS
OLD MAN: i see you have noticed my many, many toasters... now YOU prepare to die... (uses magic powers)
