This was the most stressful 94 minutes of my life, and I loved every second of it
This was the most stressful 94minutes of
This was less camp and more lame, a remnant of 1982 and not in a good way. The homophobia is hard to watch, but at least the gay characters weren't stereotypical. One skull for that. The aunt was a ripoff of Carrie White's mother. Susan Tyrrell did the best she could with the crap script that went in too many directions, yet was unbelievably slow-paced and tedious. I refuse to believe this movie was only 94 minutes! It felt a lot longer. And the last few minutes turned into a TV movie! WTF?
Hilarious movie, I don't know if that was the intention but some of the dialogue that the cop has and the conclusions he jumps to are so funny. Poor Billy tho :(
This is a suspense film more than horror - and that's what makes it awesome. You know the aunt is the threat - it's right there in the promo image and description - but it's all the other elements and how they come together that keeps you at the edge of your seat. Easy 5/5
