This one is classic 80's horror with the scream queen Linnea Quigley. In this movie she doesn't dance nude on the tombstone, but gets impaled on antlers - what a career improvement! Most memorable scene (and actor) was when the family met granpa in mental asylum. Watch the film and you will know why...

Story is very basic and doesn't bring much to the genre. Development of the main character was portrayed very movingly and horrible end results were understandable in the light of the previous insidents.
