I wanted to see this film because of Karen Black. Not a bad film but not great either, slow moving the best part is the last half. The dialogue is terrible, the ending is strange except for the arm with the bracelet - liked that. Several parts stand out & overall I enjoyed it as I don't care for real bloody films. Liked Oliver very much, with that terrible make-up he came across with a vunerability I found sad. The sister got better as film progressed. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a 6. Would be an 8 with better writing.

My friend sent this movie. And I was like OK Cool so I watched it and like it.
The movie is about a Family and there deadly secret the movie stars Karen Black and Eric Estrada.
Mrs. Mary Happ's life is not so different from the lives of most middle class, abandoned mothers, raising a lovely popular high school senior daughter and a bright pleasant jr high school son a bit of a loner. Sure money is at times in short supply, but thats true for most of us.
And while the family doesn't live high off the hog the have a comfortable home at the end of a secluded lane on a pleasant little lake a few miles of outside of town. Mary Happ has a good job. Its only drawback: Mary must occasionally be away from home, several days at a time. But (Livvy the daughter) and (Jeff the son)are responsible when they have to be so Mary has a few reservations about leaving them to care for themselves when she must travel.
Their lives are almost painfully normal except for Oliver, a young man about 18 years old. Livvy and Jeff don't know Oliver. Their mother thought it better that way. They never would have known of their "cousin"--and only other living relative --but for an incident at the private intitution where he was confined for many years--naked in a totally bare room with no sharp corners the only furniture a slab of stainless steel upon which he slept. Somehow Oliver got loose and wreaked havoc on the institution and its staff. Subdued with massive doses of tranquillizer--too massive--Oliver fell into a coma from which it is doubtful he will ever emerge.
Oliver's condition now requires 24 hour nursing care which Mrs. Happ cannot afford. Oliver must go home where his family can care for his needs around the clock. Mrs. Happ accept the inevitable but is concerned that the family secret somehow gets out.
His presence in the Happ household is unobtrusive at first. Within a short time Jeff takes a keen interestin his cousin taking over most of the burden of his care. Its about this time a peculiar presence begins to make itself known within the circles where jeff and livvy travel. Its about this time people start dying...horribly. its about this time too that jeff and livvy discover the real truth about Oliver. its more then kids should be asked to handle. And Mrs. Happ is out of town. She cannot help them....Prehaps no one can.

From the poster "The family secret is out," I knew this was going to be a good one. And it was. A stellar production, given the budget, this film is a must see. Especially impressive is the dialogue which is authentic and realistic, which is unusual for these kinds of movies. As well, the depth of the plot makes this one stand out from the other cookie-cutter slashers.
Particularly attractive is the Masters in Low Budget Filmmaking extra with William Grefe and Dean Gates that comes on the DVD - worth the price alone.
Two thumbs and two toes up.

I was very surprised when i watched this movie,first of all: never judge a book by it´s cover, because the cover of the movie, shows nothing short of a very cheap and lousy production But when i watched it, i was really thrilled.You can really deliver great movies, without a big budget.It is scary,brutal and very fascinating, too bad that american horror films always, shall have the scenes were the friends scare each other, before the real scare despite scenes like that, it´s far better than the Scream series. I give it a 9 out 10 Too bad, the restricted version must be very cut, or lousy edited.
