If you’re looking for a second-rate, cheesy, 1980s movie to put a shameless grin on your face, Vibes (1988) might be destined for your meal plate. Featuring some glorious-for-the-era shots of South America, mediocre special effects, and a story featuring folks to who speak to the dead, clairvoyancy, and other powers that are not worth looking up for their proper names, perhaps the most frightening thing about this movie is not the goofy power hidden in the golden treasure, but that it features Peter Falk and Jeff Goldblum, and they’re both shown up by, beat the drums, singer Cindy Lauper.
Painfully conventional and yet not silly enough to redeem itself, I’d give this one a skip.
