Epitaph (1988)

trashy funfamily dysfunctionlow-budget chaos

Overview

Horror

It seems the Fulton family has to keep moving from one town to another, because the mother is a homicidal maniac who murders any man who doesn't submit to her drunken seductions. And Mr. Fulton, like any good, caring husband, never thinks twice about burying her victims in the backyard, packing up the family car, and setting off for a brand-new destination.

Standout Aspects

Acting

Natasha Pavlovich's deadpan daughter energy steals every scene.

Writing

That tagline deserved a better movie, honestly.

Best for:Friends: Bad movie night with people who appreciate glorious trash.·Background: Fold laundry while this unhinged family implodes.·Rewatch: Catch new absurd details each time.
Heads up:Violence: Frequent off-screen murders, some on-screen strangulation.·Triggers: Alcoholic parent, enabling spouse, implied sexual coercion.

Epitaph exemplifies the late-80s 'erotic thriller' boom's trashier cousin: horny horror where the kills are punishment for rejecting the femme fatale.
