I wanted a haunted house movie, but instead got a deranged lunatic flick.
Allison Lange, as Christina, is obviously the main draw here. Her stunning beauty kept me going, even when it became obvious that this wasn't going to appeal to me.
After placing their mother in a looney bin, Christina, her brother and father move into a new house. Everyone seems comfortable in their new setting except for Christina. She can't take a bath in peace, finds cookie crumbs all over her room and is pressured by her father to be a pseudo mother figure to her little brother. All of this piles up on her, and she finds herself following in her crazy mother's footsteps.
The cast isn't very likable. Lange does an adequate job but John Savage as her father is better, as well as Jerry Wasserman portraying a tough guy cop. Christina's brother and best friend were not appealing actors at all, and Brendan Fehr has come a long way since this.
Only redeemable quality is Allison Lange taking a bath. That's it.
