    The Halfway House is nonstop fun!

    Writer/director Kenneth J. Hall (PUPPETMASTER) pulls all the stops in this Lovecraftian nunsploitaiton slasher! As if by magic, Hall manages to seamlessly blend the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, 1970s nunsploitation, and trademark B-movie blood and guts. The result is one crazy movie that dishes out thrill after thrill. Veteran actor Mary Woronov (DEATH RACE 2000, ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL) brings elegance and grace as the eerie Sister Cecelia. Newcomers Janet Tracy Keijser, Athena Demos, and Stephanie Leighs provide worthwhile performances and stunning eye candy. Light-hearted, whimsical and babe-a-licious, THE HALFWAY HOUSE is a definite crowd pleaser.
