A quiet town is jumpstarted by the arrival of an enigmatic family; a statuesque mother named Louisa and her gorgeous teenage sons. Sixteen Year-Old Hilary is working hard to get good grades, hoping to escape the small town life a long line of relatives lived before her. With the arrival of the mysterious family just weeks before school is to let out, life suddenly becomes appealing. Hilary's father is instantly charmed by Louisa, while she herself finds a strong connection to middle son Kadin, ignoring her dubious instincts. As the town falls under the hypnotic spell of the young men, no one but Hilary sees the peculiar loyalty that holds them together and the lengths they will go to give their mother what she needs until it's far too late.

Reviews
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Michael Ledo It is hard to discuss this film without making plot spoiler comparisons, but I will try. A small quiet town has a new family. Louisa (Suzanne Jaehne) has moved in with five high school sons (1 set of twins but I still have trouble with the math). The neighbor girl Hillary (Connie Saltzman) seen on the DVD cover, has taken a shine to the red head Kadin (Garrett Richmond) who likewise likes her. Kadin and his four overly pale blonde brothers attend General Brown High School where the girls openly swoon over them. Hillary's widower father is attracted to Louisa.We know this is not a normal family. The film gives us an opening clue with missing girl flyers during the credit segment. It is not too hard to figure out, but the film is covert about it. This is a decent low budget film, which seems to be aimed at teen girls.Guide: 2 F-words that I caught. No sex or nudity.
Marco Well This is an amazing little horror movie, highly recommended to all the genre fans. For the budget this low, it has turned out great. It is about a quiet town which is overturned by the arrival of a family whose intentions are not clear. I loved it because of its mystery elements, which are backed up by a great story and believable acting. The main character is played by the charismatic Connie Saltzman (for whom I've honestly never heard before), and she did her role fantastically. I wish there are more good movies with her and I will definitely look out for more work from this director.
cheekyapple-56320 This is for sure a B horror movie so don't expect a lot of crazy special effects or anything. I actually appreciated that because I'm so distracted by them when they aren't done right. It looked like in this movie the brothers were actually fighting and that being said, the fight scenes were very well done and didn't drag out too long either. It had a kind of rawness to it. However someone of it was really campy like the the cliché of a small town and a boring high school. Yeah yeah yeah we get it, it's a small town. The math teacher who is a punk rocker in real life was actually a nice wink. The acting overall was pretty good and the film LOOKS really nice. It doesn't look like a horror movie it looks like a sweet romance. The story was unique and I did not guess the ending so for me, that means it's good. But I have a lot of issues with not having all the answers and again, the cliché of the small town. How OLD is Louisa actually? Are the twins actually the oldest brothers? Is Hilary now like Louisa in the end and will have to live that way? A very fun film though, I give it 6 out of 10.
erin tanaka I'm going to level with you. This film is not without its flaws. But what it lacks in production value it more than makes up for with great casting, clever dialogue, and a well-developed story. Not everything is explained, there's no great backstory, but this is not that type of film. The story we see is enough without having to explain the history of the characters (even though we do get a little of that).What I loved about this quirky B-horror/comedy flick was the electrical chemistry of the cast (seriously, it was so fun watching them hang out), the fun 80's-style music (complete with a cameo from the GoGo's Jane Wiedlin!), and a slow-burn style story that pushes to a solid climax.
