Deathdream Movie Review 1972

In this reworking of the "Monkey's Paw" tale, a mother wishes her dead son would return from Vietnam. He does, but he's not quite the person he used to be. Gripping plot gives new meaning to the saying, "Be careful what you wish for--it might come true." One of Tom Savini's earliest F/X assignments.
