Viewing Notes
Also known as The House By The Lake and could be known as “A Poor Lady Goes Out With a Shithead Doctor and Ends up Having to Kill Everyone”. A revenge, house invasion flick that plays out quite smartly with the lead Brenda Vaccarro actually being a smart, strong female lead. This is criminally underlooked, as I never hear about it but it’s head and shoulders above Day of the Woman, but less sleazy.
