Unhinged (film)

Unhinged is a 1982 American exploitation slasher film directed by Don Gronquist, written by Gronquist and Reagan Ramsey. The film follows three young women who are taken in by a mysterious family at their rural mansion after getting into a car accident. It is perhaps most notable for being among the United Kingdoms 72 video nasties, which led to an expanded role for the British Board of Film Classification. The movie was filmed in Portland, Oregon, using interiors and exteriors of Pittock Mansion.

That night, Terry and Nancy begin to discuss how weird the family is at the house, and Terry finds a tooth under her bed. Later that night, Terry awakes to hear a man breathing heavily upstairs, as though hes masturbating, and wakes Nancy, but the breathing stops. Nancy then decides that one of them should go through the woods into town and get help, and flips a coin, finding that shes the one who has to do it. The next morning, Terry and Nancy take a shower, while someone watches through a peep hole in the wall. Terry and Nancy tell Marion of their plan, and Marion says its a good idea, telling Terry to go get firewood. Nancy then sets off through the woods, while Terry is frightened away from the shed out back by Marion, who tells her its full of loose timbers. Nancy, makes it through the thick forest, only to be gorily slashed to death by a figure with a long scythe.

Their next dinner with Terry as the only guest, is ruined by Mrs. Penroses views on men and her daughter. That night, Terry once again hears the breathing, and goes to see who it is, finding an abandoned little kids room with black and white pictures of two little kids, and an old tool belt with a dusty gun and machete.

Marion then calms her down and tells her that the man is Carl, her brother who has the mind of a fiveyearold, and who their mother abandoned when she gave up on men. She insists that he is harmless, and Terry goes back to bed.The next day, Terry is once again worried about where Nancy is, and Marion assures her that shes probably in town right then.
