kill that Dawna Wightman who played Debbie too?
Gosh, what a poor excuse for an actress, and that annoying voice...
I was hoping she would be killed by the house, just to not hear that awful voice anymore.
I hope she didn't quit her dayjob, because acting was not for her.
After this role, she only played in one other movie (thank God), and she played -woman in car- in that one, so much for her career.
With the thousands of people that want to be in movies badly, a whole lot of them have it in them, and really deserve a chance, I can't understand why this woman got a chance; how she passed the screentest is beyond me!
I guess she slept with the producer.

I wonder what it is about direct-to-video horror movies where the acting is so bad in almost all of them. Is it because the budgets are usually so low that they can't afford to hire professional actors? When people say acting is lousy in horror movies, I usually never notice so it doesn't bother me. But I did in this one.

Burn, witch! Burn, witch! Burn! Burn! Burn!
