Description: A young girl goes to live with her grandmother for the summer. Grandma is turning the old funeral home into a hotel, but the guest have a funny way of disappearing before they check out. Fun little variation on Psycho features a predictable ending, but still is suspenseful, scary, and features a good cast and plenty of atmosphere.
With every classic slasher film, there is a certain element of “Well, don’t that beat all” to be found in the casting department. Here, for the 1980 Canadian rarity flick FUNERAL HOME – originally released as CRIES IN THE NIGHT – the versatile Barry Morse takes a break from chasing David Janssen around America to take part in a horror flick. Deadly Eyes, Happy Birthday to Me and Curtains co-star Lesleh Donaldson adds the first of several slice ’em up movies to her resume here, while top-billed Kay Hawtrey plays the former’s grandmother, whose bright idea of turning a former funeral home into a bed and breakfast might have needed a little extra planning. Stephen E. Miller and Alf Humphreys are also featured.
