This is the story of a family named Smith who have a dark secret. The daughter stays at home and never go out, Mom and Dad are consumed with guilt but are trying to get on with their life. Their son is desperately trying to get away and is making plans to run off with his girlfriend. Into their life comes the sweet talking southern gentleman named Nick. Nick cuts people up for a living, though don't worry he's a surgeon. Actually do worry since Ned is a very bad man out to correct the sins of the past.
This is a great looking film that reminded me of some films from the late 1970's and early 1980's that tried to do more than be horror films. Sadly they, like Bleeding House, didn't amount to much. This film is little more than an episode of Tales from the Darkside stretched to 85 minutes. It's bland, dull and uninvolving; worse it never builds to anything it just meanders to a close. If it wasn't for Patrick Breen as Nick this film wouldn't be worth seeing. Frankly Breen is the reason this film was picked up for the festival and it's the reason it's destined to get a very minor cult following.
