Okay.
Um.
So my husband was orphaned at 12 years old and I was essentially on my own at 10, taking care of my brothers.
I walked into this film with a bad attitude.
Please, by all means, tell me about grandmother's house. Folks, [long hand drag down the face]. It's been a while since I've seen a film this bad.
Let's dive into:
This film upset me on so many levels.
Not only is it all OVER The Place! It does't have the courtesy of being a story worth telling, because there is none. I've watched this movie twice and I was mad both times. I understand that the '80s had a plethora of slashers - and I frankly love 90% of them - and the 10% remaining .... make me a little mad. This is one of them.
Here we have orphaned children moving into their grandparent's place. They are, logically, traumatized. The grandparent's are all "It will be fine!" and I'm all. Nope. Nope, that's not how it works.
So I was cleaning the house through most of the rest of it, but it got ugly when the kids discovered their grandparents are doing some sketchy shit and maybe there is a body in the basement. I thought they would roll with that but no. No, it got more insane and that's why I'm not giving this movie any more energy. I just got more angry as the movie progressed.
Watch at your own peril. I love '80s films but even after two watchings, I could not make it palpable.
