Grandmother's House (1988)
Member Rating:  
Peter Rader directed this horror film about a teen-aged orphan named Lynn (Kim Valentine) who accompanies her young brother David (Eric Foster) to live on their grandparents' farm after their father dies. Before long, it becomes obvious that all is not right on the farm, and that the grandparents (Ida Lee and Len Lesser) are hiding a dark secret. Cult favorite Brinke Stevens stars as the kids' insane mother, whom the grandparents have drugged to control her homicidal impulses, and screenwriter Peter Jensen provides the atmospheric photography. Some chilling moments and a particularly creepy performance by Lesser make this average slasher film worthwhile. Producer Nico Mastorakis had co-written the story for the abominable The Greek Tycoon (1978) before turning to genre filmmaking. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

    Movie starts out really good. Two kids go live with their grandpartners' who are hiding a big secret from them. Movie was decent until the end and the end was stupid.

    The mother is looney... as a matter of fact, it is her antics that drive the horror in this "horror" flick.--- You better believe this is low-budget B-movie, but the spooky scenes are scattered just right, throughout, to keep you watching. The end was a bit hurried... but that is usually the low-budget way. At least there were no fireworks explosion at the end of this movie... like they end most other low-budget B-horror movies.--- I bet with a small amount of patience, the roughest skeptic could watch it once.

    Yes   |   No
