silent night, bloody night (1974)

aka Night of the Dark Full Moon. Death House.
"I'm waiting in my fathers house."
In 1950 a wealthy industrialist dies in an accident in his isolated house. Twenty years later John Carter (Patrick O'Neal) arrives in town to sell the Butler house to a local consortium. They are anxious to buy and tear it down, but why? Later that same night Jeffrey Butler (James Patterson), the grandson selling the house arrives and enlist the help of the sheriff's daughter (Mary Woronov).
Murky script, uneven acting, and obviously cheap slasher, but for all its flaws, it still maintains an atmosphere and holds the attention.
