aka Terror House
Secrets Beyond the Door
90mins

VHS Cover Art

Summary According to imdb: College student Regina comes back to her room from class one day to discover she's won a getaway vacation at the quiet Red Wolf Inn. Before she can even call her parents to let them know where she'll be, the lodge owners arrange her transport and she soon finds herself with two other young women as guests of a kindly old couple. The place is beautiful and the food is fantastic, but something just doesn't seem right. One of the guests has suddenly vanished, and the hosts are certainly reluctant to have anyone poking around the meat locker. Still, the barbecued ribs are delicious, so what's there to complain about?

I had this VHS for about six or seven years now and ripped it on DVD about a year ago as I did many of my VHS's including Death Ship. Technically I'm watching a DVD but its a VHS-rip, so it cancels itself out. I guess. I have not seen this movie nor heard nothing of it. It was a random purchase I got from a closing video store in Seaman, Ohio for a dollar. I am so brave to watch this. So Brave.

• This movie is full-on weird now.
• OK. Weird ending.
  

Strange movie. Its very different than I thought it would have been. As cannibal movies goes its more like Parents than Motel Hell. Its more about creepy characters than violence. Its not as good as Parents, but a decent enough movie.

Grade: C+
