this movie seem to be almost constantly when i be around seven and and at the time i remember it be totally scary and engross . my sister remain freak out about the little veiny head people to this day and so and be the evil little brother that i be and i hunt down a copy to give to her for christmas and and watch it first . the story be that the hideous kim darby and in a hairdo seemingly accomplish by swirlie and have inherit this gorgeous house from her grandmother . her husband and jim hutton and see all the beautiful window and space and pool out back and alland would rather live in an apartment in a high rise . throughout the movie and there be all this talk about how much work the house need and say at one point that a dinner party there will be like eat in the subway and when all of this be utterly belie by the house itself and which be spectacular . sure and it decorate with a comprehensive cross section of everything wrong with the 70 and but the house itself be a stunner . we later keep hear about how the couple have do so much work on the house and thought we never see any evidence of this throughout the movie . anyway and kim want to make a study out of this and well and study in the basement and which feature a big fireplace that have be bricked up and bolt close . the handyman keep tell her that she would well not open it if she know what good for her and but would not explain why . naturally and she open it and and soon enough be hear little voice say be free . be free . she set u free . one thing apparent from the start be that kim husband be a major jerk . this little time capsule come from the period in which men think nothing of tell their wife that they be psychotic rather than even make the slight attempt to hear what they have to say . jim be also a bitch to kim throughout and throw constant attitude at her and care about nothing but his job and reputation . there be a little bit of topicality in that kim feel like he go to only be worry about his job for the rest of their marriage and but it seem to me that their problem run far deep than that . so soon enough strange thing start happen and cause and we soon find out and by this race of foot high men in gorilla suit with strange veiny head mask on . for some reason they want kim . please do not put too much stock in get an explanation for this phenomena ever a one never come . youre like and be it witchcraft . alien . ancient indian burial ground . ancient chinese secret . and nothing ever come . the little ape men and always accompany by an inexplicable and wholly ludicrous green light and creep out and cause havoc in the household at regular interval . after a few brush with her furry friend and kim be understandably freak out and skittish ( while her husband and with increase annoyance and consider her a lunaticwho knew husband be so eager to consider their wife plumb nut . ) and which make it surprise that she doesn not seem phase in the least when and at the height of her nervousness and the light in the bathroom go out while she take a shower . kim just shower away and take no heed . i guess she just really and really have to get that crème rinse out . spoiler ahead . the attack increase and with a corresponding drop in viewer interest . but they do at least offer the meager fun of see guy cavort around set make of giant book and stairway design to make them look small . during all this time and kim never think of just leave the house . you know and they do have hotel and kim . she be supposedly go to spend the night at a friend house and though the friend never show up and no one seem to think that strange . the fool also and though by now it obvious that the little men be afraid of the light and never turn on the light . in addition to never consider just bolt up the chimney again during the day and while the little men be sleep and which be the only method that obviously work in the past . idiot . so it all build toward a fateful evening after the bearded decorator be killed in which kim be drug by the little beasties . her friend and geraldine ferraro and finally believe her and but still have no problem leave her alone ( while drug . ) to make phone call and creep around outside . her husband and now start to believe her a little bit and leave her in the house to go have a chat with the handyman . no one consider just take her out of the house and which destroy any minor scare this thing may have generate on the weak mind . the whole thing have the air of the script be write way before the film be shoot and and of no one care enough to go back and adjust it . the big example of this be all the talk about the house be a wreck and when it clearly ready for architectural digest and and there be other little instance where someone will talk abut something that never happen or whatever . nevertheless and little creepy guy skulk around in corner do manage to offer a few chill . someone could remake this movie and have a b feature on their hand . too bad such little effort be put into this version . check out other review on my website of bad and cheesy movie and cinema de merde and
