There are few intertitles, you only get some expository info-dumps in (lengthy) close-ups on letters, and much of the film is folks walking, partying, holding hands, crying near the bedside of infirm loved ones, looking out windows and appearing nonplussed, etc etc etc. The actual plot is rather straightforward and probably could have been related in 25 minutes instead of 100; it's also the same old tiresome early 20th century Nobility of Female Suffering crap. Okay, I'm making ELDORADO sound like a Bad film.

I didn't expect much of this and got even less. It is a slapstick parody of Hammer horror type movies, but it is painfully unfunny and unoriginal. I may have chuckled two or three times in the whole movie. Main character is Kenny Everett, who I never really liked, seconded by Pamela Stephenson of Not The Nine O'Clock News fame and Vincent Price. Both of these are completely let down by the lame script and predictable jokes. Pamela Stephenson does briefly get her clothes ripped off by a poltergeist
According to IMBD, this actually got an award at our very own BIFFF in 1984, tied with Videodrome. I can only imagine how drunk the jury must have been.
even being a major 80s slasher / horror nerd I have never had any desire to see this one... also never found K.E. funny but he is slightly before my time
