The Hearse (1980)


The Hearse (1980)

As the eighties came around, horror began focusing on special effects, monsters and slashers. During this transition, more traditional films would be generally overlooked. One such film is The Hearse starring Trish Van Devere.

The Hearse is a haunted house film with the titular hearse and its driver as the 'monster.' Van Devere inherits an old house with a tramatic history and soon finds herself wrapped up in a terrifying mystery. Full of atmosphere and traditional scare tactics, The Hearse successfully builds suspense to the jump scare. Its great stuff for its time; but, at that time, the horror community was craving a different beast.

Directed by George Bowers and written by William Bleich and Mark Tenser, the Hearse stars Trish Van Devere, Joseph Cotten, David Gautreaux, Donald Hotton, Med Flory.

So here it is ... The Hearse
