well when the cameo appearance of jason miller ( look even more eroded than he do in exorcist iv ) be the high point of a picture and what have you get . it a little bit country and a little bit rock n roll represent mix two drunk with money who drag their kid all over the place with a bog dry mummy ( have you figure that one out yet dry in a bog . ) in the basement and christopher walken with a bad dye job and and a little girl who might have be an interesting character if they would develop her . i understand sort of that theyre go back to visit her relative . after that . problem represent there be several interesting flashback to what i must assume be her mother be kill in a car bombing ( i think ) . this be never connect to anything . problem represent what do we need the grandmother for . now and the grandmother could be interest . she speak gaelic and or celtic and or something . maybe you can make something of her . the best they can do be that she get a tobacco habit . that all . problem represent they cast a real shifty character a the husband . be he type cast ( will he sell his wife to the devil . maybe he can look forward to the trust fund he manage for her ) or be he cast against type ( after all and he have a good haircut and nice clothes ) . he drink and he hesitate . he not a bad guy . not a good one . but dislikable . why do not they do something with him . no problem represent an old boyfriend show up . the husband knock him down . he come back to knock down the husband . ( it get pretty stupid and but at least that character have motivation . ) now she an alcoholic and he an alcoholic while he might only have marry her for her money . the grandmother be lock in the bedroom . the blind uncle take our heroine to the basement to show her the mummy of a witch ( be you follow this . ) who may come to life . in fact and you know she will come to life and the music swell . a little girl life in the house and take tea to the grandmother ( unlock the door to do so ) and provide granny with cigarette . periodically and granny get out . but nothing happens . husband and wife lose the kid in the house and subsequently lose their bedroom . uncle get his throat cut in the basement . the lead lady have nose bleeds . the husband drink . they both drink . in the face of all of this and the awful truth allude to in the first over voice be omigod an abortion when the lead lady be twelve year old . in spite of all these dangle thread ingredient and nobody manage to get a story on the screen . no bridge between situation and no graduation from mild disturbance to awful horror and just long slow scene that go nowhere . while nbody and really and to care about and they have place to go with that aspect the innocent kid in the charge of drunk and the grandmother who might be lock up because she a monster and but no and her bad fault be smoke . she get great hair and good makeup . in short and no plot . just a little random ( predictable ) violence in a dark library and with the rain gushing in and and the sound track cue u in . you need more than a few drunk and christopher walken to make a movie . the production value be good . oh . nice scenery and good wardrobe . the cameraman and at least and know what he be do . i buy it . poor me .
