Well, I can't quite call this essential Horror or Halloween material. but that said, it is an interesting horror movie. <br /> <br />It starts quite normal and plausible. William Katt (a writer) is trying to tie up some loose ends. He goes to sell his aunt's house carrying the sorrow that his aunt killed herself. (So he has to go through some painful moments of walking through the house.) <br /> <br />However, he decides he has some unfinished business and decides to hold off on the selling. (At least for the moment) We are also permitted sympathy for him in that he has lost his son, and that he is separated from his wife. But his wife and he are still on speaking terms, and somehow he get the impression that they may get back together. An especially comical moment is when he is talking to her on the telephone and he turns up the stereo to make it sound like he his having a party. <br /> <br />There are some overdone moments, but the story is interesting enough so that we are inclined to forgive that. While trying to resolve the matters of his missing son, he is having flashbacks of his experiences in Vietnam, while he is trying to think of ideas for his new book. (The writer of this may have been familiar with the stream of consciousness technique of writing.) There is also a scene that alludes to Edgar Allen Poe's "Tell Tale Heart." <br /> <br />George Wendt is an interesting character. He offers some badly needed comic relief; in addition, he may appear to be out of it, but he does offer worthwhile help sometimes. In a light hearted moment, Katt gets a chance at romance. <br /> <br />In this story of horror, mystery, and suspense, we have some well placed laughs, and even an interesting soundtrack. The climax interestingly links the past to the present, and we have an ending that resolves a number of issues. While I can not quite call it essential horror, it is certainly good. At least give it a chance.
Viewer Reviews
I must say, i really love this movie. It has something that makes me see it all over again. The acting is so good, mostly from William Katt but i also think Kay Lenz is great (not to mention her true beauty)
Give it a chance! You'll like it!
