Meg Foster stars as a writer of mysteries and murder tales named Sian Anderson. Her husband, John does not want her to go to Greece to write her new story, but she thinks being apart for a while will do them both good.
When she arrives she meets the owner of the house where she will spend the night. His name is Elias Appleby (Robert Morley), and he proves to be a somewhat pompas ass.
However, Sian's real problem begins when she meets the handyman named Phil (Wings Hauser) who turns out to be a homicidal maniac. Hauser plays these kinds of roles so well, it's easy to believe he's actually like this in real life.
A cat and mouse game of survival ensues between Sian and Phil, and while I wont give away the ending, I will say it takes its toll on both parties.
The film is well done, but it really lacks in some departments. Hauser and Foster are great, but the story has a hell of a lot of holes in it, and as is so overplayed in 80's horror, evil can never be stopped. I get tired of that formula.
The Blu-ray presentation is perfect and I do applaud Arrow for getting this one out so more people can see it.
