Need help finding horror movie

Post by SchenkerFan »

I vaguely remember seeing a thriller/horror movie as a kid where some people (maybe a couple) moves to some remote village (maybe it was an island, not sure). Anyway the community in this village is quite odd. I also remember something about an old man in a wheelchair that's supposed to be a parent of some notables in the village, but it turns out his supposed children are actually his parents or grandparents.

It's not much to go on probably but I haven't been able to find it through google. I'm thinking it was probably released somewhere between the 70s and 90s.

I haven't seen it in a while, but that kind of sounds like the movie Dead and Buried from 1981

No, it's definitely not Dead and Buried.

Otherwise, I haven't a clue on this one . . . :?

That actually sounds like early-mid 70s stuff. Do you perhaps recall sideburn lengths and collar sizes?
Forehead exposure of the female actresses? Whether or not Eugene Levy was in the cast?

Dead and Buried is a great movie, but it was more about zombies (resurrected people).

Could it be, "Lets Scare Jessica to Death?" There is a young person who shows up in very old photographs. And the community is very odd. Classic film.
