Young and easily frightened Heather (Lesleh Donaldson, Happy Birthday To Me) is called to stay with her grandmother in the hopes of helping her turn an old funeral home into a bed-and-breakfast. But strange happenings and unexplained murders around the home quickly make this vacation spot a “dead-and-breakfast.”
This one I had previously only seen on really murky VHS transfers, so while not jaw dropping, this blu ray is essential for the clean print alone. This was made before slasher tropes were set in stone, so it is better watched as a slow burn mystery with a pretty clever twist. The Audio Commentary with Film Historians Jason Pichonsky and Paul Corupe provide a wealth of background on this Canadian shot flick. Not a classic, but worth seeing especially in this cleaned up version.
