US Severin 2024 Blu-ray edition - Region all

 

 

 

Great Psycho Horror Drama with an intense ending. Another gem i hadn't heard
about and both Susan Tyrell and Bo Svenson gives entertaining and unhinged
performances as aunt Cheryl and detective Carlson.

Teenager Billy (Jimmy McNichol) has lost his parents in a car crash and has
been raised by his aunt Cheryl (Susan Tyrrell) for 14 years.
He's offered an Athletic scholarship in Denver and everything looks copacetic
if not .... his auntie was insane and stabbed a TV repairman to death after he
said no to her sexual advances.

Enter investigating police detective Joe Carlson (Bo Svenson) who's a raging
homophobic and believes Billy killed the man in a homosexual quarrel. It
doesn't matter that Billy has a girlfriend (Julia Duffy) and has nothing to do
with the TV repairman's death.
Aunt Cheryl is bonkers and she doesn't want to be left alone, and what about
her secret shine in the cellar ?
