Susan Tyrrell is her usual weird and wonderful self in a surprisingly taut horror/thriller that should have yielded more fanfare than it did.Thankfully, this one seems to finally be attaining some of the overdue attention it deserves.
Jimmy McNichol is raised by his clinging, possessive aunt who is close to the edge of a serious crackup. Nearing graduation and making college plans, Jimmy and his steady find themselves suddenly entangled in the investigation of a murdered homosexual. The local law enforcement suspects Jimmy is the killer...sizing him up as a light-in-the-loafers teenage Lolita-boy with an aunt who's willing to take the rap for him. Meanwhile, Auntie's behavior grows ever stranger, and one investigator begins to have doubts about her innocence...as well as her nephew's safety.
Great performances and a very offbeat story make this a standout in its genre. 6.5/10
score /10
