Fans of the show, I racconti della cripta (1989) have stated that this film felt like an "extended episode" of the show. There are several factors in the film that support this. For example: There are some foreboding elements that show that there's something sinister (i.e. Rose being too adamant on Chris not giving his wallet to the cop; the way the Armitages' employees and friends are behaving almost robotically).Despite the chilling atmosphere, there are several hilarious moments that counterbalance the intensity of the story (i.e. Rod being funny in almost all of his scenes; Chris himself saying some funny comments).There is a major twist or two that puts the story into perspective (i.e. Rose turning out to be a cold-blooded sociopath; Rod showing up to save Chris instead of the police showing up to arrest him).The villain, or villains, in this case, getting their comeuppances in an ironic manner (i.e. Dean Armitage condemning deer throughout the film and treating Chris like a prized deer ends up getting killed by a deer antler in the throat; Jeremy Armitage's fighting moves are used against him by Chris and he's beaten to death).
