Wow. Terrible.

I would like to give credit for a semi-original idea but it was taken from another source so I can't even give them props for that. Just about everything in this film is terrible. The incidental music is borrowed from Psycho. The acting is lame especially the partner who delivers his lines like he's imitating George Dzundza from Law and Order. The story line is ludicrous - I kept thinking that this was meant as some kind of comedy but they played it straight right up to the totally predictable ending. In the first two minutes you know exactly what the last two minutes will be. The plot holes are enormous. The asylum lets you come in while a patient is showering and just take her out. You take her home and install her on the couch and don't tell your spouse. She kills and eats your cat and then attacks your wife. So your wife packs up and takes your son somewhere. She kills the neighbor girl and eats her and you don't do anything except say "Bad girl". Nobody ever comes looking for the neighbor girl - oh well. A circus guy comes to your house with your keys but you both think it's breaking and entering? He is killed but apparently he didn't tell anyone where he was going either as nobody comes looking for him. She kills and eats him but you just bury him out back. You take her to a cabin and leave her alone while you work late in town - what bad could happen? Then finally you decide that's she evil and decide to kill her so you can recreate the opening. And of course, with your dying last words you just say "Jenifer". Wow, it would have been hard to have done any worse on this film. It will gross you out but that's about it. Don't enjoy.
