The Crumbs

This is a great film. It was quirky. I like that in a film. I also liked the twists.

Some viewers have questioned the family's changing accents from one scene to another, believing it was a continuity error due to the actors making mistakes and coming out of character. If you pay attention, you will realize they only speak in a British accent when speaking privately with one another and in an American accent around their guests and strangers. They tell everyone that they are locals of the area and have lived there their whole lives. Later, it's revealed they are actually much older than anyone could guess, suggesting they are not really from that town. The accent switching is meant to clue the audience in that they are not at all who they claim to be.

Inspired by the mad scientist genre of the fifties this lengthy excursion into horror territory features a bizarre family who entice visitors to their bed and breakfast but only in order to pursue their perverse medical experiments. A fine attempt at a classic gothic horror.

The ornate and creepy opening credits give you all you need to know to enjoy this flick. the movie drops you right in the middle of the action. No slow burn here. I was taken right away with Maria Olsen's (I spit on your Grave sequel) performance.

The cabin location is appropriately eerie. The whole thing has kind of a western feel. My only real gripe is it sagged a bit in the middle. At 110 mins, they could trimmed 10 or 15 mins out it.

I really enjoyed this movie. Definitely worth watching!
