976-Evil. 1988.
Bullied high schooler Hoax brought up by a religious mother and protected by older cousin Spike, dials up Dr Dark for a horror scope but may end up giving his soul as a bargaining.
Robert Englund directorial debut who also directed two episodes of Freddy's Nightmares actually done a decent job with this and certainly could have done more directing jobs but guess it didn't appeal to him.
I will admit I loved this film from the VHS era and now it is a cheese fest film even with Sandy Dennis trying to be the over bearing religious mother to Stephen Geoffreys and aunt to Patrick O'Brien. The first half may be a bit slow after having patience it does get better with the journalist Jim Metzler who investigated the rain of fish and tries to get to the bottom of the phone service run by Mark Dark played by Robert Picardo in a small role and provides the voice. The film isn't as bad as it's made out to be but entertaining.
