Watch House on Greenapple Road For Free

The Worst Film Ever

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

When I think of lost treasure movies by genre, this one certainly makes the claim as the best "Who-dun-it?" police drama mystery I've seen.It hits the mark on so many levels: first, an all star banner cast of great actors who are just fun to see all working together on this unique TV mystery. Clever scripting and a brilliant red herring that make for a puzzle that gradually unfolds until that one big key element is finally revealed.As evidence witness statements are gathered, the story takes form of a middle aged suburbia housewife's (Janet Leigh) numerous trysts while her traveling salesman is away. At the opening, her daughter (trivia alert- -that's Eve "Jan Brady" Plumb) arrives home and finds a blood soaked mess in the kitchen, and her mother missing. Soon, Lt. Dan August (Christopher George), a shrewd and dedicated detective tries to sort through all the evidence and the gossip about the missing woman, and determine what really happened in that house. There are several fine sub-plots about police work in general, and wonderful characterizations all around from the cast.A TV movie from the 70's made by the Quinn-Martin people, who produced several crime dram TV shows at that time. Definitely worth finding this one for a good watch.

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who was freaked out by those chilling opening scenes! I too was a very young child when I saw this film, so I can scarcely recall any details...only that infamous kitchen footage. The title alone still gives me the creeps! It is definitely a shame that this movie is not shown on TV, and is apparently not available on VHS or DVD. I'd really love to watch it again to see if it holds up to my childhood memories! Sadly, I have a feeling it can't possibly be as frightening as I remember. Years of slasher film viewing have left me quite jaded. Perhaps I'll just read the book instead.

This movie haunted me for years. I was 8 or 9 years old when I first saw it and it scared the hell out of me. Back then I was past the point of being afraid of "monsters" and such, but the opening scene in which a really young Eve Plumb( yes, "Jan" on The Brady Bunch) comes home from school, enters the empty house calling out for her mother and finds a bloody hand-print on the refrigerator just hit home with me. What would be a child's worst fear?? Losing their parent(s). The rest of the film is a decent enough murder mystery with some fairly big name 70s actors rounding out the cast. Watch for it in reruns on local TV; I have seen it a couple times over the years.

I saw this once when I was a kid (around 8)...all I remember is the opening scene, it scared the @#$% out of me!...a house, someone coming home, and blood everywhere...very chilling. Plus, I lived on Greenville Road so the fear "hit home" even more.That 70's made-for-TV-movies genre is greatly under-appreciated and unrecognized. Other movies that I remember about the same time that were really creepy (you might too):"When Michael Calls" (Ben Gazzara, Elizabeth Ashley, Micheal Douglas)"The Screaming Woman" (Olivia DeHavilland)"Picture Mommy Dead" (Zsa Zsa Gabor)"How Awful About Allen" (Anthony Perkins)"Two On a Guillotine" (Connie Stevens)"The Victim" (Elizabeth Montgomery)
