Mausoleum is a horror movie from 1983 that centers around the life of Susan Farrell, a young girl who suddenly loses her mother at a very tender age. After the funeral, she encounters a strange psychic who warns her of an impending danger. The psychic also informs Susan that she possesses a power that will protect her against the evil force that's soon to come. However, this gift will only be effective if she keeps it hidden and locked inside her. Over the years, Susan (played by Bobbie Bresee) grows up, marries, and becomes a successful businesswoman, but she's still troubled by the events of her childhood.

Her life changes when she inherits her family's mausoleum, a massive structure that's been in the Farrell family for many generations. Susan feels both scared and drawn to the mysterious and dark depths of the mausoleum, and she starts experiencing terrifying visions of her deceased mother (played by LaWanda Page) who appears to be urging her to release the power that's within her. Soon, Susan starts to notice strange happenings all around her. People she knows, including her husband Oliver (played by Marjoe Gortner) and her psychiatrist, become possessed by an unknown force, and they start to act strangely.

As the story evolves, Susan discovers that an evil entity has been stalking her since childhood, and it's now trying to take control of her by luring her into the mausoleum. She learns that the Farrell family has a history of being possessed by demons, and that there's a curse that's been passed down from one generation to the next. Susan realizes that the only way to break the curse is to confront the demon inside the mausoleum and put an end to its terror.

Mausoleum is a classic horror movie that combines elements of the supernatural, gore, and suspense. The film is notable for its special effects, including impressive makeup and prosthetics, which make the demon scenes genuinely scary. The soundtrack is also noteworthy for adding to the movie's eerie and foreboding atmosphere.

The acting in Mausoleum is decent, with Bobbie Bresee giving a believable performance as Susan Farrell. Marjoe Gortner also delivers a decent performance as Susan's loving husband, although his character is somewhat one-dimensional. Norman Burton plays Dr. Andrews, Susan's psychiatrist, and he adds a professional touch to the movie with his calm and cool demeanor. The supporting cast is decent, and they all contribute to the overall mood and feel of the movie.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of Mausoleum is its pacing. The movie does a great job of building suspense and keeping the viewer on the edge of their seat. While some horror movies tend to drag on, Mausoleum's pacing is excellent, and it continually ramps up the intensity until the climactic finale.

Overall, Mausoleum is an enjoyable classic horror movie that delivers on scares and suspense. While it's not a groundbreaking film, it's still a great watch for fans of the genre. If you're looking for an old-school horror flick that's guaranteed to give you chills, then Mausoleum is definitely worth checking out.
