This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The opening of the film, is suggestive of horror. scare tactics of the movie, play on superstitions and beliefs of the time.The story revolves around a funeral home, that is being renovated for a tourist home: a bed and breakfast.There is a mystery in the story. the trigger to the building of the suspense: a black cat.The film seems to play out more as a psychological thriller, than as a classical horror.The score, plays well with the suspense of the movie. The plot, it reminds me of the movie Psycho; in many ways.I believe this movie, to be an original interpretation; of a psychological slash horror film. The movie takes a while, before it gets to anything that can be seen as actual horror.The mystery of the story, is played out enough; to keep the viewer interested. Funeral Home, seems to be a little longer than it needs to be, but it is an okay movie; and it should appeal to fans of Psycho, and of other slash horror films.

To look at this movie, you'd think it was made in the middle 70s for no money. Instead, it's 1980 and a budget over a mil and a half. The money doesn't show in the production.It's a rather crudely made movie from Canada that doesn't have many chills or thrills. In fact, just about none. It sucksThe Plot An old funeral parlor now converted into a tourist home during certain periods such as the summer, develops a problem, when a escaped mental patient with a split personality moves in and proceeds to do away with those specific/certain guests or staff, he/she feels are nosy or immoral.

Maude Calmers'(Kay Hawtrey) husband has disappeared. He ran the local funeral home. To make ends meet she converts it into a bed and breakfast and her niece Heather (Lesleh Donaldson) comes to help her. After it opens guests start disappearing and Heather hears voices from the basement at night. She's determined to find out what's going on with the help of her boyfriend Rick (Dean Garbett).Creepy little Canadian horror film. It was made on a low budget and is kind of obvious (you'll see the ending coming a mile away) but it still works. There's plenty of creepy scenes (especially the first long shot that goes from the top floor of the house to the basement...where you hear voices) and the ending where everything goes wild. The ending is VERY rushed...it looks like they ran out of money. The final explanation is explained WHILE the closing credits are running! Still I was entertained. Good acting by the whole cast too. There's next to no blood, no gore and no nudity, sex or swearing so you may wonder how it got the R rating. Not an unsung classic just a small tight little horror movie.

Yesterday I watched a 1980 horror film called 'Funeral Home'. I've been getting a lot of use out of our Amazon Prime membership during these cold winter days. This was a cross between 'Psycho', 'Little Red Riding Hood' and Ma Kettle, a character you might remember from old films. The premise was a young woman comes to help her friendly grandmother. They are turning her old funeral home into a sort of Bed and Breakfast to make money to keep the place. Grandma's husband, the funeral director, had disappeared years earlier. Also, there have been other mysterious disappearances in the area. It wasn't a bad movie, just dragged a bit at times and was predictable. It was not excessively gory, too much gore is a turn off for me. The only actor in it I recognized was Barry Morse from 'Space 1999'. If you like stories about mysterious psycho killers like '1979s 'Tourist Trap' this should fit the bill.
