My rating: 5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
#177 on Drive-In Delirium Volume 2 (part of the TRAILER TRASH PROJECT)
The first half of this picture is pretty damn solid. The weird shit starts happening to the family immediately which was really cool. It gets creepy when the two oldest kids (brother and sister) have some incestual fun. Burt Young was ferocious as the "quick to bust out the belt to beat his kids with" dad. The story builds and culminates into a mass murder. If the picture had stopped there I'd be giving this an 8/10 but it doesn't. It continues for at least another half hour with the possessed killer (one of the family) and the priest who is trying to save him or her. That was dreadfully boring and cliche'd. If I should ever watch this it'll be up to the point the family is killed. I love happy endings.
