The House of Deadly Secrets

It's interesting how a mediocre script can be saved by the acting of a single star. Patty McCormack is brilliant in her golden years and is as scary as she was in her youth. The movie is only worth watching because Patty is in it and it will terrify you because she is in it. If any other actress had taken the role you would be rolling your eyes and turning the channel. I am now terrified of grannies and have a whole new respect for them. I might even give them my seat on the bus if I ever deem to humble myself by taking public transportation alongside common people (which will never happen-just saying). This story could have been a bit more polished and gained a higher rating. The actors were good, especially the kid, but the overall plot needed some more work.

About 15 minutes into this movie I began to wonder if I'd make it through the entire thing. It felt very amateurish and the acting and dialogue left much to be desired. But interestingly enough, it had a strange charm to it that kept me interested through the entire movie. I think it was so over the top and clunky that I liked it. It was average for a TV movie, even though it was a bit predictable.

Ok movie, poor acting by Maggie and Zeke. It took a while to work out the relationship between Sylvia and Eric

Fairly entertaining and suspenseful. 2nd rate acting tho.

I gave this 5 stars because the ridiculousness of this movie crossed the line from bad thriller movie to actual comedy.
