Good horror flick, 20 May 2001
10/10
Author: kevin-phillips from Seabrook, Texas

This movie kind of reminded me of the horror movies I saw as a kid in the 70's and 80's. It's definitely creepy and "suspenseful" as it says on the box, a bit low-key in spots (which isn't all that bad a problem, I guess) but picks up for a good "chop em' up" finale at the end. Good acting from the unknown cast, especially from the two sisters and the wicked mother from the opening. And I also like that guy who played the orderly. Beware of that head bashing scene in the open--it's pretty brutal!!
