The House of Deadly Secrets

Netflix is on a roll with picking garbage to add to its content. A old lady with the strength of a line backer and the skills of a ninja. I thought Amazon and Vudu were the only ones in the race to the bottom, then Netflix says "here hold my beer"

It's interesting how a mediocre script can be saved by the acting of a single star. Patty McCormack is brilliant in her golden years and is as scary as she was in her youth. The movie is only worth watching because Patty is in it and it will terrify you because she is in it. If any other actress had taken the role you would be rolling your eyes and turning the channel. I am now terrified of grannies and have a whole new respect for them. I might even give them my seat on the bus if I ever deem to humble myself by taking public transportation alongside common people (which will never happen-just saying). This story could have been a bit more polished and gained a higher rating. The actors were good, especially the kid, but the overall plot needed some more work.

A psychopathic old lady in the neighbourhood, with some horrible secret that she's not telling. She lives with a sick old man in a wheelchair. She's lied about who he is, by telling some people that he's her husband, and others that he's her brother. She's a nasty and malicious piece of work. I found the way this film handled the rest was disjointed and confusing. It was like a comedy when the old psycho woman murders a grandmother, and serious now and then. The ending (no spoilers) made the character make no sense even more! Whoever made this film, needs to go back to school.

Ok movie, poor acting by Maggie and Zeke. It took a while to work out the relationship between Sylvia and Eric

Bad acting, except for the old man in the wheelchair! Seemed like a bad movie you'd catch on a Saturday afternoon because you have absolutely nothing else to do. That's about the only time I would recommend watching this. Or if you confined to a hospital bed with no remote in sight and you have no choice but to watch it.
