National General Pictures

My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

A psychopathic teenager talks his way into living by with the family of his latest crush Hayley Mills by pretending to be homeless and mentally challenged. One night he leaves the house and murders his father. Hayley resists all of his advances, but when her mom tries to seduce he kills her in the shed. Hayley eventually figures out his real identity leading to their confrontation alone in his bedroom. Beautifully filmed in striking colors by the Boulting brothers, but distasteful subject matter is a turn off, something even the producers acknowledge in a disclaimer before the opening credits.
