Directed by Butcher Brothers
Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores (aka the Butcher Brothers) break big on the horror scene with this low-budget frightener concerning a picture-perfect suburban family who harbors a particularly dark secret. When their parents are killed in a tragic accident, eldest Hamilton sibling David (Samuel Child) relocates the surviving family members to a quiet California suburb and assumes the responsibility of caring for his orphaned siblings Wendell (Joseph McKelheer), Darlene (Mackenzie Firgens), and Francis (Cory Knauf). While twins Wendell and Darlene seem to share a bizarre bond that separates them from the rest of the siblings, Francis acquires a video camera that previously belonged to his deceased parents and sets out preparing a school project about his family. As the all-seeing lens of Francis' roving camera begins to reveal that something malevolent is going on inside the Hamilton's picturesque abode and his reluctant siblings find their decidedly unconventional existence suddenly threatened, the youngest sibling is forced to choose between following his family into a murderous tradition or sparing the lives of future victims by betraying the only people who ever seemed to care for him. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"This film is not scary at all. I mean a few sad scenes but really this shouldn't have been in the 8 Films to Die For. I mean there is a good plotline to it, there really really is, but this just isn't a good film. I didn't really understand the ending (i won't spoil it for people who want to see this) and I have no idea who is who. In all I give The Hamiltons a 3 out of 10. " [More]

"I'm probably spoiled on Robin Hood movies, having seen too many darker versions to really appreciate the technicolor spectacle that is The Adventures of Robin Hood. Errol Flynn ("Cuban Rebel Girls") is very charismatic and the Merry Men have a joviality not even matched by the Disney version. The film has all the familiar legend highlights, including the archery contest, and " [More]

"I have really tried to come at these films with an openmind, but the "8 Films to Die For" series really suck. I'm glad that I waited for them to be released on dvd instead of overpaying to be disappointed at the theaters. Maybe the ambiance of the movie house setting would have helped these films seem more frightening, but I seriously doubt it. The Hamiltons was not the worst, but it sucked just the same. Poor acting by most of the cast (the twins were okay), a real " [More]

"This movie made no sense. There are some parts where it is actually funny, not scary. Anyone see what's wrong with that? It is basically trying to get sympathy for the family because of what they are [no spoilers], even though they kill people...It is an okay movie to watch. " [More]

"I just watched the movie Dark Ride and have to say it is pretty good. I kind of guessed a few things really early in the movie but I really liked it. It was kind of like the old movie Fun House but much better. Always love movies about an escaped mental patient...This is a collection of really good Independent horror movies, they choose 8 films every year and show them in different c " [More]
