| User ReviewBjørn TA fantastic horror film, definitely a must-see for any horror film lovers out there. |
| User Reviewbill sCult classic! One of my favourite movies. You need to watch it in the context of it being hilarious schlock though, or you won't appreciate it. |
| User ReviewKyle fRare, often over-looked horror/comedy that does well on every level. Janet Wright is a standout as Fanny. Scary and haunting. |
| User ReviewLorie GIt's about a family who are homicidal maniacs. A very good movie. |
| User ReviewJeff Bcreepy family .. Their grown daughter wears her hair in pig tails has a dead baby in the baby bed and plays with it as if it is alive ... Ma and Pa Don't Go for noooo bad behavior .. Sinners Beware!! |
| User ReviewKevin QEsta es una de mis favoritas de terror. Ame la pelicula no sólo por las escenas y el aspecto superficial, sino porque es muy creible lo que pasa en este film, hay muchas familias que son demasiado enfermas y locas que quien sabe si esto pueda ser verdad. El reparto estuvo fabuloso aunque pudieron haber hecho un mejor trabajo algunas de las actrices, pero quien sí se lució fue Janet wright, su papel de mujer cincuentona con sindrome de peter pan lo supo adoptar muy bien, tiene la finta en el rostro de enfermedad mental o algo así. Este film en cierta forma es muy pesado de digerir, pues habla del cristianismo y el fanatismo hacia el. yo pienso que la religion es solo una idea más en este mundo lleno de caos e ideas circundantes, no veo el caso del porque la sociedad ha adopatado esta "idea" como algo tan extremo. pero bueno la pelicula en si es maravillosa y el final es aun mejor. :) felicitaciones a John Hough |
