It’s one of those situations where you anticipate something amazing—like walking into an enormous buffet with every food imaginable—but what you end up with is a bad feeling and a hefty bill. That's how I felt about 'Death Warmed Up', from the Mill Creek collection of 50 horror films that I've come to know so well. There are some intriguing concepts here, and an agreeable, though old-fashioned, sense of mood, but director Blyth seems unable to make it all gel. The film had promise; with a different approach, it could have been something special—a real shame. The two actresses playing Sandy and Jeannie are attractive, and there’s a good rapport between them and the male actors as well, especially during the ferry scene on the way to the island. The unnecessary nudity and soft-core scenes were an added plus for me. Jamie Lee Curtis once mentioned in a DVD featurette about 'The Fog' that she appreciated starting her career in horror because it allowed her to explore a broad spectrum of behaviors, and by the film’s conclusion, Michael and Sandy convinced me they are capable performers. It’s disappointing they were stuck with a forgettable, awkward script that seemed lost and directionless. 'Death Warmed Up' doesn’t have a proper ending; it simply stops or fades out, as if the filmmakers had exhausted all their ideas and just quit when they ran out of film. This is precisely the kind of movie that deserves to be redone—not one already successful and excellent that doesn’t need another go-around—but rather films like this, the ones that fell short, so we can demonstrate that these concepts were worthwhile and significant after all.
