THE KINDRED
(1987)
DIRECTOR: Jeff Obrow & Stephen Carpenter
STARS: David Allen Brooks, Rod Steiger, Kim Hunter, Amanda Pays, Talia Balsam
SYNOPSIS: A woman awakens from and coma and tells her son to go to her house and destroy her life's work. This includes all the notes referring to "Anthony". When the man asks who Anthony is she tells him "Your brother!". Next we see creepy scientist Rod Steiger, in a wonderfully over-the-top performance, who has a secret lab where he keeps deformed human experiments. He wants very much to see those lab notes. The son goes to the house with a group of friends including the mysterious Amanda Pays who holds a horrible secret. They all fall victim to, or do battle with, the tentacled thing living in the basement of the creaky old house. The special effects are great - slimy, gooey, goopy and gory - they reminded me of Alien, From Beyond and Basket Case. A real overlooked winner.
