In this spooky horror outing aimed at teen audiences, the innocent new girl in town tries to become friends with a rough but cool crowd. They are all pretty mean, especially the young woman who is mad that the girl stole her boyfriend, and they decide that the girl must survive an ordeal before they let her join their gang. They send her to a funeral home to spend the night by herself. Unfortunately, none of them realize that it is inhabited by a murderous ghost just waiting to suck the life out of all of them. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

When Penny (Angela Cartwright) offers refuge to an intergalactic thief named Ohan (Larry Ward), the fugitive gratefully entrusts a small disc to her, telling the girl that it will lead her to untold riches. At the behest of greedy Dr. Smith (Jonathan Harris), Penny follows the disc to a magic ring that bestows the "platinum touch" upon its owner. Inasmuch as this is obviously a retelling of the King Midas legend, guess who gets the platinum touch--and guess who turns into platinum. Werner Klemperer takes time off from his Hogan's Heroes duties to play an outer-space detective named Bolix. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on Jenny Angel, a novel by Elise Oaks Barber, Angel Baby is a gloves-off study of the faith-healing racket. The title character, played by Salome Jens, is a mute whose speech is ostensibly restored by Bible-thumper George Hamilton. Angel Baby is then exploited on the evangelical circuit by crooked promoter Burt Reynolds (in his feature film debut). She becomes disillusioned, but her faith is restored when she apparently heals a crippled child. Any opportunity to see stage actress Salome Jens in one of her rare movie roles is always to be treasured; in this instance, Ms. Jens is backed up by an equally stellar supporting cast, including Mercedes McCambridge, Joan Blondell, and Henry Jones. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
