Although it looks as if the Russell family has found the home of their dreams, it doesn't take long before circumstance forces them to reconsider. A series of disturbing coincidences -- murdered pets, a rash of broken household items, and strange sounds -- suggest that something out of the ordinary is occurring. Reluctant to entertain a potentially supernatural answer, the Russell's first instinct is to shift responsibility towards their overly imaginative daughter, Gina. That theory bites the dust after the terrified family discovers a race of ancient monsters living beneath their home, and soon their only priority is moving out alive. Inhabited is directed by Kelly Sandefur and stars Malcolm McDowell, Megan Gallagher, Eric Lutes, and Sofia Vassilieva. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

Harriet Sansom Harris returns as Bebe Glazer, the predatory agent of radio personality Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). Hoping to secure a pay raise for her client, Bebe suggests that Frasier stage a "sick-out." The management at KACL responds by removing virtually all evidence that Frasier ever worked for the radio station -- even unto painting over the name on his parking space. Normally, this might bode ill for future contract negotiations, but it turns out that Bebe has more than money in mind, and she'll stop at nothing to get what she wants. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Joe (Carmine Capobianco) is a bartender and a psychotic killer who falls in love with the woman of his dreams in this horror comedy. Kate (Debi Thibeault) is a manicurist who shares Joe's penchant for committing gruesome murders. The two meet, fall in love, and make plans to combine forces in the murder of Nikki (Cecilia Wilde), a topless dancer in a local club. Stabbed repeatedly, the victim stays alive and spurts copious amounts of red corpuscles until Joe hits her in the head with a frying pan. When the garbage disposal breaks after being stuffed with too many body parts, the couple calls for the plumber Herman (Frank Stewart). Fortunately for Joe and Kate, Herman is a fellow psycho and cannibal who agrees to work for body parts. This ambitious, low-budget slasher satire is hampered by out-of-sync sound editing. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
