Now we know what happened to Baby John. It's very campy and funny horror movie that has Emily Baldwin from "The Waltons" as you've never seen her before. Mary Jackson is the polite but domineering grandmother of the sexy but nutso John Neilson who falls in love with Linda Gillen, the young recipient of a weekend getaway at it's beautiful but deadly island getaway that Jackson runs with her husband, Arthur Space, serving up scrumptious recipes for her guests that have a secret ingredient. When Gillan realizes what's going on, she's desperate to get off the island, but it may be too little, too late. Rule of thumb, never take the offer of a free vacation especially when it's only an invitation for one.
That's a young Margaret Avery from "The Color Purple" as one of the guests, who along with Janet Wood, gets the ultimate case of indigestion from all the gourmet food that is seasoned and served by The eccentric Jackson. Everybody seems to be having a very good time lampooning the horror genre, although a scene with a small shark that John Neilson catches is very disturbing. I had a good time laughing at and with this film, maybe not one of the great horror films of the 70's, but certainly one of the most delightfully silly. The ending of the film is definitely worth staying for. You'll never look at rack of lamb the same way again.
