This is a glossy psycho-soap with a fine cast and enough offbeat occasions to keep one interested. The mental illness of the young daughter, suffering from the early death of her father, is not handled too heavily and the film suffers somewhat from this shallow interpretation.
The creepiness really starts when she falls for her Mother's lover and things start to get stirred to the breaking point. This happens late in the film and maybe just a little too late for this to be a top notch thriller.
It is intriguing enough but lacks the depth of character study and is a bit light for this type of psychological picture, so it comes off more as a slick family drama than the study of a sick mind and its effect on the family.
