Warning: Spoilers
****SPOILERS*** Mindless and ridicules horror flick with the young lady in red, her favorite color, the plucky Amanda Post, Susan Brackman, being trapped in her grandma's, Rhea MacAdams, creepy house who seems to be on her deathbed and about to check out, of life, at any moment. Were told that Amanda witnessed her moms murder in the same house 12 years ago and is now spooked in being there again. But there she is, looking after grandma, and confronted by these two weirdos the person or curator running the place Claude Kerns, Larry O'Dwyer, or what seems to be grandma's power of attorney Judge Stemple, Glen Ross, who for reasons known only to themselves don't want Amanda around.

For the remainder of the movie we have, and it's no secret to those of us watching ,this crazy nut Kerns calling Amanda for phone sex and threatening to murder her grandma who's as good as dead anyway, if she doesn't comply to his sick demands. Judge Stemple who has other reasons in wanting Amanda out of the house is later a victim of Kerns in wanting him out of his way, like Amanda, so he can end up having the house all to himself.

****SPOILERS*** With all this happening to her Amanda loses it and in the end joins her grandma' in becoming a zombie on steroids as well as murderess. And the person whom she ends up murdering, by bashing his skull in, is her concerned but not too bright, in not realizing what she's going through, boyfriend Nick played by Hugh Feagin who seemed to be the only sane person in the entire movie! Were shown at the end the person-we think- who actually murdered Amanda's mom 12 years ago and by also stealing and mutilating her favorite doll that eventually caused her to go completely nuts but by then, after what we went or suffered thorough watching the movie, couldn't care less whoever he was or what he did.
