This came in a multi pack dvd with some garbage movies like Prophecy (Christopher Walkin) and Howling IV. So, I was not expecting much, except maybe some laugher. No laughter to be found here. What we have is a young man, who's parents were killed, working in the library, who happens to be interested in watching and stalking people, even going into their homes. He is befriended by a cute/punk chick that he was stalking. He then stalks a couple by going into their house. He is discovered and they befriend him rather than calling the cops. Apparently the couple's son died a year before. He spends the night on the couch after watching TV. When he leaves he gets run over by a hit and run driver. The couple take him in, both legs busted, and nurse him. The couple at first, especially the wife, are very friendly and just want to befriend this young man. But then the wife thinks he is their dead son returned. The husband doesn't buy into that at first, but he too also believes he is his son. After a few days they treat him like he is their son. The guy realized these people are nuts and just wants to leave. Tons of tension.
It is well acted. And the screenplay is decent. It's low budget and the video quality shows. It played out that possibly the kid was the one that was sick, maybe amnesia. If it wasn't for the grave beneath the one they buried him in, this mystery may have continued to the end. Rather than the punk chick rescuing him at the end, I guess a better ending may have been if the kid got out of the grave somehow and killed the wife and husband. And we find out that they were not really crazy, that he was really their kid. Hey, just an idea.
But as it's shown, this is a good movie. If you can go past the low budget video production.
Rating C, or 6 stars.
