6/10
sick, twisted and loads of fun

Very obscure little title that I basically found because I adore Linda blair, don't be deceived by the cover art she has a relatively minor role here. Actually for film featuring a porno star (yep the Randy Spears) this is pretty good. Georgina Spelvin plays Arlene, who "lost" her husband an baby boy years ago. Que poor dumb ted, world's youngest lawyer, who just happens to look like a certain painting. Turns out the painting is of his real Dad, ARlene's lost love.

Ted's Mom breaks the truth to him is a terrific beach scene in Arlene is loaded and something of a high society matron, sure she's a bit eccentric, but after all she just found her son after twenty- plus years without him! so who can blame her if she wants to cuddle him, dance with him, tuck him in at night...

Oddly Ted's Wife Evie, the lovely Ms. Blair, doesn't seem to scene much wrong with this grand guinol scenario and a really ornate Castle Mansion somewhere form the back lots of "Love Story", eventually tho it becomes pretty clear that Arlene wants all she lost back, and is willing to do anything to have it.

Georgina Spelvin is simply great as Arlene, for a older babe she really knocked it out of the park as a psycho, give her a lot of credit here. Sickest wedding scene this side of "Flowers in the Attic" doesn't hurt either. "Bad Blood" is a little hard to find, but well worthwhile for fans of Gothic style psychological horror.
