Better than I expected, this obscure horror film is surprisingly good even if there are several really stupid moments throughout. The very good Eric Foster is a real gem as the grandson, and makes even the dumbest moments of the film a lot better because of his presence. Along with Sister Kim Valentine, they are sent to live with their grandparents after the death of their father, and there's something going on that Foster becomes instantly suspicious up. It appears that the grandparents are killing young women and keeping them in their basement, and then the presence of a mysterious young woman changes the whole plot line when she is discovered handcuffed in the Grandfather's jeep. This leads to a ton of action and more than just a few questons
While there aren't any real names in the cast, it is a very good ensemble. Len Lesser and Ida Lee are complete scene-stealers as the grandparents, adorable in every way. The presence of a weird family that comes over for a picnic as more questions as it's very apparent that something is up especially when the teen son shows Foster how to blow the bodies out of a local river.
Foster has a weird situation when he gets stuck on the roof and is basically hanging over his grandparents as they removed mysterious objects out of the basement. Another scene of David (Foster's character) running into a pipe really jolted me. There's actually more action than horror, although it definitely has elements of that throughout. Regardless of whether these elderly people are killing younger women, they are plenty creepy, although the twist with the stranger coming out of nowhere does show what's really going on. A lot of fun, and certainly better with unknowns than big stars in the major roles.
