The film opens with an angry man confronting someone he apparently knows and there's a murder. We're not let in on who it is or why the person is being murdered. We have to wait till the end of the film to find out.
Meanwhile, 4 teenagers decide to break into the home of the local mortician (who happens to be the same man who murdered the mystery person at the beginning).
Their reason to break into his home in the middle of the night, in Texas where intruders can legally be blown away---is because they think they saw a ghost in his upstairs window.
Yes, that is actually the lame reason they decide to break into this man's home---to see a ghost they thought they saw in a damn window. Get lives kids!
The man returns home to find them in his house and winds up killing one of them. This is where it gets comical....because the other teens are now angry he killed their friend...WHEN THEY BROKE INTO HIS HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IN...TEXAS!!
What did they expect?! An invitation to dinner?! The rest of this mess is the teens actually going BACK to the house in the middle of the night, and breaking inside AGAIN because they have to prove their friend was murdered by the owner of the house that THEY BROKE INTO!!....In Texas!
Who in their right minds would break into the home of someone living in gun loving Texas?! Only idiots like these who apparently don't value their lives.
You can't help but root for the owner to kill these kids slowly and painfully, but it's not that kind of film. No.... They actually want you to root for these stupid kids instead.
I don't care if the guy is a murderer (we find out in the end that he actually had good reason to kill that man in the beginning of the film). And he also has good reason to off these kids too because they violated his property (twice!) all because they thought they saw a damn ghost in his window. Who's the crazy ones here?!
The scenes also drag on too long and the acting of the teens isn't all that great. Dennis Quaid seems to have had a fun time playing the killer mortician chewing the scenery with abandon. He's the only reason this sad mess of a film gets 2 stars.
