Hello,
Here's another one for ya: I remember that there's a bunch of people in some kind of building and there's this pointy-headed green monster that's only seen in mirrors (Although I think it's seen walking through a cloud of smoke at the end.) I also remember a scene where a black guy is pulled by an invisible force up into a ceiling fan where he's presumably chopped to bits. I think there's also a scene where a chick gets killed while taking a bath.
Any thoughts as to what this could be?
UNK SEZ: A pointy headed green monster, death by ceiling fan and a chick gets killed in a bathtub (by snakes?). Sounds to me like you are talking about 1987's THE OUTING also known as THE LAMP!

Boy! It sure does sound like the Outing. That's one of my favorite late 80s regional slashers. It was shot in Texas almost as a college project, although the Deborah Winters was already an established actress (Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo, anyone?), but most of the actors and crew I think went to a college in Texas. One of my old bosses in Vegas actually worked as a PA on it!
The lead girl, Andra St. Ivanyi is quite good. She never did anything else. I met her a few years ago, and she was surprised I recognized her… and said I made her day!
Anyway, I digress… I think this is a fun supernatural slasher with lots of unexpected gore and good acting.
The film's Genie is a pretty impressive creation, especially considering the budget.
