My heart was literally pounding throughout the entire movie! Mario VanPeebles and Holly Robinson Peete lead an edgy and frighteningly melodramatic cast. A down-on-their-luck black family suddenly inherits a Victorian mansion in Washington state, and falls in harm's way when a quartet of ruthless and hostile bank robbers decide to take cover in the mansion on a stormy night while on-the-run from the police. The entire movie is full of characters being chased around or held at gunpoint, barricading doors, and lying to or outfoxing each other in a delicate and dangerous game of "cat-and-mouse." Its plot is surreal, but gave me an exhilarating experience. Some parts are funny, especially the ending. A 'must-see' if you like horror!
