More about this movie
In order to get away from their busy lives, the Wilson family takes a vacation to Santa Cruz, California with the plan of spending time with their friends, the Tyler family. On a day at the beach, their young son Jason almost wanders off, causing his mother Adelaide to become protective of her family. That night, four mysterious people break into Adelaide's childhood home where they're staying. The family is shocked to find out that the intruders look like them, only with grotesque appearances.
Reviews
Wow oh wow. What a great movie. Crazy scary...especially because I went to the santa cruz boardwalk the NEXT DAY.
But I absolutely love how this movie appears to be a horror movie but is really a very thinly veiled description of our jungian 'shadow' selves...in fact, I can't think of a movie that more explicitly talks about it...both good and bad.
