Do you know where the circus is in town?

A great psychological thriller, hider in the house exemplifies childhood trauma and its effect on a a man's life. Tom Sykes (Gary Busey) undergoes the transformation from child to head of the household of Mimi Rogers's family. Mimi Rogers sexes up the role of a woman going through marital problems. Michael McKean (best known for his character Gibby from dream on) plays an arrogant adulterer who gets a good beating from the buse. This movie was worth the three dollars for its rental, just to see Gary Busey beat a man to death with a flash-light. Another quality film from the man with horse teeth.

Trivia
Was supposed to be released theatrically everywhere in 1989, but Vestron Pictures went broke before the film's release. In the end, while the film gained at least one theatrical release in Europe, as Vestron had already pre-sold the film there, it skipped every other theatre and was largely straight to video.

Quotes
Tom Sykes: When I was your age I used to have people hurt me all the time.
Neil Dreyer: So what happened?
Tom Sykes: [pauses] They didn't hurt me anymore.
