In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics


When a seventeen year old(the actress is 21 in
this)girl's mother is murdered, she finds out
that she really wasn't her mother! She then
goes on a hunt to find out the truth! Some
nudity! B

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

It's not a horrible film. It's just that it is
so poorly paced and so scattered that it never
really grabs one's interest. The plot revolves
around the discoveries of a young woman who is
suddenly orphaned by a woman whom she thinks is
her mother. When the police discover the woman
never had children, this is the tipping point.
She seems to have enough resources to run all
over the place, investigating, almost getting
killed. Her "mother" had been struck down by
a hit and run driver, but he drove over her
twice. She delves into family history, stirring
up skeletons and eventually almost paying for
it. The conclusion is strikingly unsatisfying
and poorly done. The video is so bad that we
can't see what is going on as she confronts
her adversary. There are also some red herrings
and superfluous characters that keep showing
up. This is pretty much a waste of time.
The film was made in Denmark and some of the
scenery is interesting. - Hitchcoc
