Grandmother's House (1988)
David and Lynn have just lost their father. Now orphaned, the youngsters are sent to live with their grandparents in a beautiful victorian mansion. But no sooner than boarding the coach bus scheduled to take them to their new home do strange things start to occur, initially in the form of a mysterious woman who seems to appear and disappear in the blink of an eye. It’s not long, however, before murdered bodies are found in the area and, to make matters worse, David becomes increasingly fearful that his doting grandparents might be involved in the killings.

Redundant and unnecessary.
Just what I expected
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
i was quite surprised by this movie it was quite enjoyable and lucky i bought this cheap $4.99 in the states it has some decent acting and is quite well made Eric Foster is okay as David but he gets annoying at times as all children do but overall he was bearable Kim Valentine is okay as well not much of a part playing a bratty sister Len Lesser is okay as the grandfather as is Ida lee as the Grandmother the plot is decent and i was quite surprised at the ending it was cool and creepy at the same time oh Michael Robinson is just annoying and horrid here i wanted to slap him silly! and some of the characters did lots of annoying things and was predictable at times but overall i had a decent time with this worth the watch and worth buying if you get it cheap like i did **1/2 out of 5
Two teens go to live with their grandparents after both their mom and dad die, but grandma and grandpa have a few skeletons in their closet that are about to explode. Film is tightly paced and well edited. It also has many shocking and most important believable twist and turns and once you think you have it figured out, it throws another surprise at you. Very unpredictable. Film also has Brinke Stevens only good performance, though the rest of the cast is so-so. A very little seen gem of a film. Not a horror film like many believe it to be, but more of a suspense film. My Rating: 8 out of 10. I still can't believe this film got so many negative reviews.
I feel compelled to advise any would be watcher of this movie not to. In the reviews some have marked it 10/10. The only people that could ever think this would be the actors in the movie themselves (although even they would consider this garbage) or some really deranged person.The plot is ordinary, the acting worse than D grade.Do your self a favour, avoid it at all costs.
Warning- possible spoilers here-although I don't think you will mind since the movie has no plot to spoil.Re-released on DVD, I picked up a copy with a coupon and figured, How bad could it be for $6 ? I now feel as if I fell for an internet scam or something. There ought to be laws against films this bad. There were entire scenes missing. Characters just disappeared for 20 minutes at a time without knowing what they are doing. Characters were brought in for a few seconds, then disappear, then re-appear dead without even knowing what happened to them or how they got there. Grandma disappears for the entire last half hour, you never find out what happened to her. You also never find out what Grandpa was up to in the basement, although about one forth of the movie takes place there. The boy never tells his sister what he has seen in the basement, he never tries to call or get help. This movie seems like it was torn up by vandals in a break-in and then they taped it together the best they could, and threw out the rest. Truly, the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. Not even worth one rental. Don't make the same mistake I did. Just run!
