Who slew Auntie Roo? Good God, who cares!? This awful horror flick (tagline:
"The hand that rocks the cradle has no flesh on it!") is so atrocious it's
truly hard to muddle through. Shelley Winters' psychotic character is
searching for a "replacement" for her dead daughter... offing local children
along the way. Meant as an update to Hansel & Gretel, this sad, sad "horror"
movie is not remotely scary, features terribly stilted dialogue, and sports one
of the biggest wigs I've ever seen outside of an intentional farce. Very, very
bad.
