Synopsis

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.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
lost-in-limbo When I borrowed this particular film from a friend I was expecting something rather similar to the 1989 horror comedy "Parents" and "Grandmother's House" does start out like that aforementioned film, but in a much serious and second-rate manner. It does go for that psychological edge, but it lacks the finesse and deft touches to carry it along. It's quite straight-up, nothing subtle. But then it takes a sudden turn into mundane psycho-killer territory with one very long chase sequence, to only turn back on itself revealing one very demented, if sudden revelation that comes out of nowhere and which I didn't see coming. By this you can say it's a makeshift of ideas that cheaply executed (there's a made-for-TV feel), but does have its moments. After the death of their father, David and his older sister Lynn go to live with their grandparents. One day David sees his grandparents dragging a bag, which looks like the shape of a person and strangely enough a body is soon discovered near the lake by their property. Suspicion arises for David even more, especially when he sees them dragging a body of a drifter lady. Going further into the oddball plot can destroy certain twists. The stilted script has some dumb dialogues and ridiculous inclusions, but it stays entertaining. Suspense kind of comes and goes, being the highlight of a rooftop walk. So does the atmosphere, where it's the music arrangement that keeps it fairly eerie. Performances are ideal with the unnerving Len Lesser giving it his all. Eric Foster and Kim Valentine acquits themselves well enough as the two kids. Then there's Brinke Stevens in a small, but important role. Director Peter Radar does a steadfast job and producing this enterprise happens to be Nico Mastorakis ("Island of Death" & "Blind Date").
callanvass 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
jaws! this horror movie is strange,but pretty good. a lot of scenes are very creepy. the music is creepy too. it's not a great horror movie,but still pretty good. you might like it,if you can find it. i give grandma's house **1/2 out of ****
eagleye 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!
