Having just quit her job as a Los Angeles TV horror hostess, Elvira (Cassandra Peterson) receives the unexpected news that she's set to inherit part of her great aunt Morgana's estate. Arriving in the small town of Fallwell, Massachusetts to claim her inheritance, Elvira receives a less than enthusiastic reception from the conservative locals - amongst them, her sinister uncle Vincent, who, unbeknownst to Elvira, is in fact an evil warlock secretly scheming to steal the old family spellbook for his own nefarious ends...

Highly amusing - Elvira: Mistress of the Dark review by CK

Spoiler Alert
31/01/2018

If you are not offended by sheer titilation then you will love this dark comedy. Elvira gets into all sorts of scrapes and it is extremely amusing. It has a bit of blue for the dads as you would expect.

Nice boobs, shame about the film - Elvira: Mistress of the Dark review by LC

Spoiler Alert
08/03/2022

Elvira looks amazing, but that's about the only positive here. The script is lame, the direction pedestrian, and the performances are wooden. I get that it's supposed to be camp nonsense, but there just didn't seem to be enough of a sparkle here, and the sub-Carry On humour (most of which revolved around people wanting to get their hands on Elvira's breasts) didn't make me laugh once. Yes, they are amazing to look at, but it's tough to sustain an entire movie on boob jokes alone.
