Wow, this is creepy on so many levels I don't know where to begin. So let's begin with the biggie - young Julie (Isabel Mejias) has this serious Daddy (Tony Franciosa) fixation that goes all the way to fantasizing what a sexual encounter with her father might be like. Pretty twisted. This after seeing her mother raped and killed by a delivery man and actually getting some sick kind of enjoyment out of it. So what does she do but contact the same guy to take out her new stepmother (Sybil Danning) to make it a double header. Now I'm wondering who the worse character is, Julie or killer Weston (Paul Hubbard), because they're both now making a pact with the devil that's bound to end very, very badly.
You know, I'm glad I'm nearly at the end of my Mill Creek Mystery Collection of two hundred fifty films because this isn't the kind of flick I'd normally seek out. However I decided I'd watch and review each one some time ago and I hate to go back on a promise to myself. I'll be glad when I can just cruise the cable channels for something more suitable or order up recommendations from other reviewers here from my local library.
Anyway, back to Julie. Somehow I didn't like the kid right from the start. Part of that could have been the way the character was set up from the beginning, never liking her mother but we don't know why (except for the infatuation with the old man). I really don't want to believe there might be somebody like that out there but these story ideas come from somewhere. But since she was such a b---- on wheels, my gut reaction when Sybil Danning made the comeback for the finale was you go, girl! Good recovery too when Franciosa shows up and she goes with "She saved my life". That pretty much made the whole convoluted story worthwhile.
