I remember the pizza cutter, the lizard in the bed and the kid falling off the roof (his parents seemed pretty nonchalant about his death) but was there also a scene in this where something traps the mother in the shower cubicle and turns the water up really hot? Or was that another film?
sharethat was another one. i would like to know which one, but i don't. anyone have a clue?

I remember the father was electrocuted in the bath tub and they discovered it after going out to get a pizza. The hot water scene not sure since it has been 20 year since I have seen this movie.
shareThat was this film:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095924/
I remember being horrified by the scene. I just remember the mother passing out with all of these nasty blisters all over her from the scalding hot water. She survived!
or it could have been nightkill?
we all go a little mad sometimes....
I'm just watching this again now, and the parents seemed anything but nonchalant about Kevin's death. There's a huge long argument/grieving scene between the parents in Kevin's room just after.
I have one thing to say about Kevin's death: the kid fell like 10 FEET, one story. Many people would get up & walk away, or at worst, break a leg or an arm. What happened, did he land on his head or something? That's some bad luck.
The war is not meant to be won... it is meant to be continuous.
I must add, the father seemed quite the idiot for insisting that the radio, plugged into an AC outlet, be balanced precariously on the side of the tub so that he could hear it better. (I know he'd been drinking, but still...)
That pizza cutter, though... still makes an impact! Nice.
May I also add that that ghost of the sister was one sneaky, manipulative conniver. That's an Iago complex if I ever saw one. I know the movie hinges on Mary doing what she says, but I'm not sure I understood why Mary keeps listening to Jennifer & doing her bidding...

The film I believe you're thinking of where the woman is trapped and
scalded in the shower is a scene from a movie called Pulse (1988.)
I don't remember this movie having a high body count.
