I am kind of surprised to see the score of this film on the plus side of five. I found it to be completely boring as I had the ending pegged about ten minutes into this one. So once you have the twist ending figured out all there is left to do is watch the deaths and hope they are bloody, hope for some nudity or hope they pull a fast one and the ending is not exactly what you are expecting. Well, the deaths are few and far between with only one really good one near the end of the film. The main girl of the piece is cute, but looks too young to show any skin and she doesn't and the one guest at the inn who is having an affair is not someone you want to see naked and thankfully she does not. Then the ending comes and it is exactly what I was expecting. The only thing that was surprising was the end where the police officer basically explained what had happened in what almost seemed like a television show wrap up.
The story has a young lady going to her grandmother's place to help her set it up as a tourist house of some sort. Basically a bed and breakfast as for reasons unknown this town is some sort of attraction. Seriously, the only thing of note is a quarry where people go swimming. The inn used to be a funeral home and when we first see it I was thinking that the place was in worse shape than the one in Fulci's The Beyond. Guests actually start staying at the place and an obnoxious couple having an affair begin to get under the skin of both grandma and her helper outside. The young lady begins hearing voices from the cellar and people start disappearing while the local law enforcement with the exception of the newest addition seems to not care that people are disappearing.
The film was a complete bore to me, I can stand a bad horror, but I hate boring ones and this was very boring to me. I do not know what others saw in this one, but all I saw was a very poorly done and acted ripoff of Psycho. Like I said, that ending was completely telegraphed right from the get go. Without any surprise you may get from the ending you are left with nothing to enjoy about the film other than the one kill near the end. One kill in an hour and a half movie cannot save or elevate this one all that high. Almost seemed a movie Mystery Science Theater could have riffed as the end scene where the killer was attacking you could not tell where the killer was in relation to the where the girl was. Just bad and boring with an ending that is easily figured out the moment you hear voices in the cellar.
