This low-budget film from Alien scriptwriter Dan O'Bannon (his first film since the 1985 zombie hit Return of the Living Dead) is one of the more loyal adaptations of fantasy author H.P. Lovecraft, taking as its source the short story The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Set in Lovecraft's home town of Providence, Rhode Island, the story involves the investigations of hard-boiled private eye John Marsh (John Terry) into the mysterious activities of Charles Dexter Ward (Chris Sarandon). It seems that Ward is becoming increasingly obsessed with the occult practices of his distant ancestor Joseph Curwen (also played by Sarandon) who was reputed to have found the secret of resurrecting the dead. Much to the horror of his wife Claire (Jane Sibbett), Ward is slowly being possessed by Curwen's malevolent spirit, and he is compelled to perform horrible experiments on the locals in pursuit of his goal. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Eight British women sign up for a week-long survival course. They hope to counter their boredom with life by sweating through a regimen of cliff-climbing and rope-pulling in Britain's Lake district. In between, the ladies discuss their sex lives, with the best lines going to Julie Walters as she rambles on about her three years' abstention from sex. The other actress, who haven't scaled the same professional heights as Ms. Walters since 1984, include Jane Evers, Janet Henfrey, Paula Jacobs, Penelope Nice, Maureen O'Brien and Alyson Spiro. She'll Be Wearing Pink Pajamas was written, apparently from first-hand experience, by Eva Hardy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
