...popular cybervenues like Raging Bull. As unwitting investors loaded up on the "recommended" shares, some, such as American Education Corp., rose as much as 700%. By the time reality set in and the price crashed, Colt & Co. had already sold out, leaving thousands in the lurch. Investigators say this classic "pump and dump" could have netted millions.

But that's the blatant aim of this remake of a 1973 occult cult classic--hence the over-the-top visual effects, the showy lesbian overtones and the general '70s-horror vibe. Casting Kate Jackson, from the original Satan, shows how desperately this 6-6-sex flick wants cult cred. And casting Shannen Doherty of Charmed reminds us that there's cooler supernatural programming on several nights a week...
