20 years ago, Alfred Hitchcock created "Psycho". Later, Canada comes up with their version called "Funeral Home". A young woman who comes home from college to stay at a room and board house which years earlier was a funeral home. Her grandmother is living there, and she once said that her grandfather was an very unpleasant person. He runs the funeral home a lot. And he was an alcoholic. Most of the guests there check in, however, they don't check out. The granddaughter has suspicions about the place when there's a lock door in the basement. Her suspicions are true when she finds out what kind of a person her grandmother is about the disappearance of the grandfather.
This is a early slasher film. So many dark scenes. Not too graphic. The granddaughter would later play a leading role a year later in "Happy Birthday to Me".
A good movie for a rainy day. Slightly more entertaining than "Psycho". Close to "Phantasm" without the supernatural effects.
A keeper.
