This movie is just plain creepy
A lot of 80s movies have things that you just wouldn't do today. This movie is a glaring example of that. Bad language. Penis jokes. A kid who tells a maid in spanish that there are sexual torture toys in the attic and drugs in the drawers. What gives?
I'm glad they don't make "kids" movies like this anymore. And there is a reason why, it's called "common sense" and "common decency".
