Trivia

Elizabeth Kaitan later starred in several Fred Olen Ray productions, cementing her scream queen status in the direct-to-video trenches of the late '80s.

Cultural

Necromancer arrived at the tail end of the rape-revenge cycle (I Spit on Your Grave, Ms. 45), but its supernatural pivot makes it a bizarre outlier — empowerment horror or cynical exploitation? The debate rages in cult film circles.
