Painfully awful slasher film with the worst ensemble of non-actors I've ever had the displeasure of wasting 76 minutes of my life. This is the type of movie that its badness results in a headache from the temples, with every aspect of the film way beyond dreadful, starting from the acting and script, moving down to the music, editing and pacing, and let's not get started on the direction. A crazy kid abused by his father ends up in the local mental ward, later released and promptly killing his socialite grandmother whose humongous estate reflects the film's title.

You expect over exaggerated acting in a John Waters movie, but the way everyone speaks reflects the type of acting you'd see in the worst community theater. This is the type of film that movie theaters should have offered free passes for another movie, for those who remained for the entire film. There is nothing amusing about this film in any way, although I must commend them about the estate setting. Definitely a candidate for the Audacity Award, film's so bad that a mystery remains of why it got made in the first place.
