"Lurkers" was one of the last movies the Crown-International studio released to theaters. In several aspects, it's one of their strangest. Although the movie was made in the late 1980s, if you didn't know that beforehand, you would probably swear that it was made in the early 1970s, with its drab and murky cinematography, substandard sound, and an overall cheapness that means there is very little horror material like blood, gore, or creature effects. It's trying to be a psychological horror like those found in the 1970s, but the screenplay is very incoherent, from the heroine's vague relationship with her brother to the unexplained fact as to just who killed her mother when she was just a child. The whole movie plays like something Troma at the time would have picked up instead of a distributor of a more ambitious nature.

This movie, which is ostensibly a horror movie, fails on several levels: it does not make you care about what happens to the characters, it does not scare you, the atmosphere is not interesting. In other words, it's boring. A horror movie doesn't necessarily have to be really scary (most aren't), but it must NEVER bore you.

I quite liked Roberta Findlay's film "The Oracle" so I thought I'd give this one a go, especially as I thought the VHS cover looked quite cool. Sadly it turned out to be rather boring. It actually has quite a good storyline behind it, but is just done in a very boring way. Which of course means little gore and suspense, and too much talking. I sort of like the cheap and dirty feel to it - I've always thought cheapness adds a murky atmosphere to horror flicks, take "Midnight" by John Russo for example. It's a shame Findlay didn't go for blood and gore over the "talky" bits as that would have made it much more watchable. Using better actors would also have lifted it out of boring mediocrity. Overall, Lurkers may be of interest to those who collect rare horror flicks, but gore and suspense fans should stay away.

This film freaks me out. It's cheaply made and incoherent but the muddle created disturbed me. Stripping, granny sex, lesbianism are all given a nod to. The stunts seem too real, when a girl is strangled with a skipping rope I believed it. A film to watch with your mates and a drink. Surreal content.

This film is so bad... I've watched it sober and drunk in both states it still seems to follow the smallest and loosest concept of a plot ever. I gave it a 10 because it has to be deliberate, no film could use two women strippers for no... NO reason whatsoever have such a scary family and have offers of sex from grandparents.I've seen bad films (I watched the Siege) but this is a masterpiece crafted from excrement.

PLOT SPOILER REVIEW As a child Cathy (Christine Moore) suffered from a jump rope accident. As an adult cello player she has constant flashbacks and has conflicting supernatural entities telling her to "Go home Cathy" and "Don't go home." Her fiancée is the cheating Bob (Gary Warner) model photographer. She is ready to give up her career and dedicate her life to him. Okay, the plot spoiler part is that the film is an early version of "Final Destination." One horror scene had me in stitches, when mom is on a stretcher with a blade in her chest plus horror blood. She turns her head and says, "Go home Cathy." I lost it at that point. I liked the old cars and did you catch they used the words "type set" before "font" became popular. Mom irons and cooks in the kitchen, what we called multi-tasking. Debbie Rochon in an uncredited cameo. Brief sex and nudity (Christine Moore, Annie Grindlay, Ruth Collins)

The premise of Roberta Findlay's "Lurkers" is certainly fascinating:the group of ghostly tenants are forced to spend an eternity in a creepy New York building.The main character,a violinist is terrorized by the Lurkers. "Lurkes" is an amusing late 80's horror cheapie made by highly prolific Roberta Findlay.The special effects are bad and there is no gore,but some scenes of child abuse are quite unsettling.There are few scenes of nudity,so I am not complaining."Lurkers" is a pure cheese with terrible acting and slow-moving script.If you enjoyed "Prime Evil" any other low-budget horror movie made by Roberta Findlay check this one out.6 out of 10.Just remember:Lurkers are NOT lurking.
