THE HAMILTONS [2006]

The Hamiltons is a low-budget horror film from The Butcher Brothers about a family of siblings who hide their homicidal tendencies from the neighborhood after the death of their parents.
The acting is pretty dismal, as is the script, but there's a few interesting moments (and promises of something stranger to be revealed) that should hold the viewer's attention till the very end.  I'll admit the poster is much more alluring to this gore-hound than the actual film is.  It's more or less bits & pieces of effective torture porn but mostly a slow-burning character piece that doesn't quite hit the mark.
