Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Excellent but underrated film

When I borrowed this particular film from a friend I was expecting something rather similar to the 1989 horror comedy "Parents" and "Grandmother's House" does start out like that aforementioned film, but in a much serious and second-rate manner. It does go for that psychological edge, but it lacks the finesse and deft touches to carry it along. It's quite straight-up, nothing subtle. But then it takes a sudden turn into mundane psycho-killer territory with one very long chase sequence, to only turn back on itself revealing one very demented, if sudden revelation that comes out of nowhere and which I didn't see coming. By this you can say it's a makeshift of ideas that cheaply executed (there's a made-for-TV feel), but does have its moments. After the death of their father, David and his older sister Lynn go to live with their grandparents. One day David sees his grandparents dragging a bag, which looks like the shape of a person and strangely enough a body is soon discovered near the lake by their property. Suspicion arises for David even more, especially when he sees them dragging a body of a drifter lady. Going further into the oddball plot can destroy certain twists. The stilted script has some dumb dialogues and ridiculous inclusions, but it stays entertaining. Suspense kind of comes and goes, being the highlight of a rooftop walk. So does the atmosphere, where it's the music arrangement that keeps it fairly eerie. Performances are ideal with the unnerving Len Lesser giving it his all. Eric Foster and Kim Valentine acquits themselves well enough as the two kids. Then there's Brinke Stevens in a small, but important role. Director Peter Radar does a steadfast job and producing this enterprise happens to be Nico Mastorakis ("Island of Death" & "Blind Date").

Grandmothers House is slow...almost too slow. The first half hour seems to be just following around a young boy who seems too curious about what's around every corner. His curiosity may be killing more then a cat, because his strange dreams of his grandparents hiding bodies in the basement may not be just a dream. As the movie progresses, there appears to be more going on then meets the eye. There are a few surprises, and, well, let's just say it sounds to me like mental illness runs in the family. That's the difference between friends and family, you can choose who you want as your friends. In the end, however, it's going to be a game of survival...a mental one. Grandmothers House is a slick, overlooked treat, and I'm trying very hard to bring notice to these underrated gems that seemed to have gotten buried in the past. It's a creepy, eerie, fun ride, and you won't forgot it, but you'll wish you could.

"Grandma's House" is an overlooked suspenser from late 80's.After the death of their father Lynn and her younger brother David go to stay with their grandparents.But there David has dreams of his grandparents hiding bodies in the cellar in the middle of the night and the next day this turns out to be true.They meet the woman that their grandparents keep handcuffed in the barn.But she tricks them into freeing her and then relentlessly pursues the two of them.Unpretetntious little shocker with plenty of dreamlike mood.The hallucinatory atmosphere of the film is so thick that you could cut it with a chainsaw.A horror icon Brinke Stevens plays the kids' insane mother and the performance of Len Lesser is surprisingly creepy.Recommended.8 out of 10.
