6.061/100 Made-for-TV movie centered around a set of tapes made by a paranormal investigator / debunker / author who details his experiences dealing with a zombie trying to summon a demon. Pretty typical for its time but handled extremely well by veteran supernatural director Dan Curtis with Roy Thinnes and Angie Dickinson taking it all very seriously. Great tense moments with Dickinson's dead husband, now wandering around at night, being frightful and murderous and the demon was cool. Pacing is great and I was quite entertained. Above average for a TV film. -- DrNostromo.com
