Movie review

After watching this one will say it felt slow because this woman keeps fantasizes about killing her family it is crazy not real yet so I wonder if this going to be the whole movie going to be about that or is it building up to something but again there some 80’s Horror movies that are slow in first half then in the next half picks up there for being scary.

The plot is about this woman who going though a tough time bye taking care of her father who grumpy also she was dump at the alter of her wedding day she going snap before the movie was over I Predicted.

And in last Hour the truth about her father came and she finds out what he been hiding from her she finds out he was evil the whole time indeed a Disturbing Ending there not much in this one for Horror though unit ended but screenplay was good and Soundtrack was good as well a good movie this was.

Well have to say acting was good main lead to me was Carrie Snodgress her Performance in this one was good Enjoying her acting in this I hope she win something for this as for other acting it was very good as well.

Well have to say this was not too scary but when she find out in attic there about what her father did prove he was and that evil now she get locked in attic does she get out we don’t know that where it ends and rolls to credits my guess she never does a very good movie if you like to get away from blood and guts movie there is some blood but not a lot it was just more of Disturbing movie.

I give this movie out of 10/10 a rating of 6 because it was good Drama and horror movie.
