Review of Burnt Offerings (1976) by Hawk _ — 19 Nov 2014
The movie starts with a cool idea: A family rents a house with one catch-an old woman lives up in the attic that they have to feed. It's not too long before other things start happening and---wait you know what, scratch that it is too long before anything else starts happening.
The scares are few and far between and when they come they're pretty weak. The idea I guess the filmakers wanted to accomplish was to make it feel like something that could happen in real life, but in general none of what happens here is scary.
Their's a nice climax and eventual payoff but it's not worth the wait.
