“A movie highly inspired by u0026quot;Psychou0026quot; tells the story of Donny, a traumatized man that hates women because as a child he was abused by his mother; she burned his hands (scene is shown in a flashback).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA grown-up Donny keeps his motheru0026#39;s corpse in the 2nd. floor , sitting in a rocking chair (as I remember). Donnyu0026#39;s violent conduct against women is a subliminal revenge against his mother but it helps him in order to feel u0026quot;goodu0026quot;. How could Donny get rid of his demons?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*SPOILERS* u0026quot;Donu0026#39;t Go In The Houseu0026quot; is only remembered because of the infamous burning scene. Donny ties a naked woman and later burns her with a flame thrower. Obviously he didnu0026#39;t play with toys as a children. The scene is fantastic for lovers of violence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDisturbing but itu0026#39;s a creative scene that is a key part of the beginning of the slasher era. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere isnu0026#39;t much to talk about this movie besides the burning scene and the ending. The movie is not a completely rip-off of u0026quot;Psychou0026quot; mainly because of itu0026#39;s slasher elements and late 70u0026#39;s influences in the genre.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe actor who played Donny did a good job and the other cast members were OK for a movie of this kind.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e6/10. Watch it only if you are very into the genre. Otherwise it wonu0026#39;t entertain you.”
