The Hearse (1980)


A horror directed by George Bowers.
A woman moves into a house that she inherited from her aunt. The house seems to be haunted and a hearse patrols the road, waiting for her to drive so it can try to make her crash.
Is it the hearse or the house? This is the question that the filmmakers should have asked themselves. This could have been a classic '80s horror flick if they had just answered that one question. There are some tense and surprising moments, but the plot is so muddy that it doesn't matter. The characters lack depth and the whole thing was just not done right. In the picture, I can't tell if this is supposed to be the main character or her dead aunt. I'm rating it poor because it seems like it was deliberately mishandled.
