This is a story about greedy children driving mom crazy to inherit her fortune. While the plot is a revisitation, this film is well done.

Rya Kihlstedt menaces as Maggie, the troubleshooter hired to do the dirty work to the old bat (Harriet Sansom Harris as Dina Cotton), while Patrick Fischler (Gill Cotton) plays the diabolical, dominant oldest sibling to Fiona Dourif (Iona Cotton), the neurotic, overindulged sister, and Michael Graziadei (Harold Cotton), the weak and ineffectual but almost humane youngest brother.

You'll enjoy a few unexpected plot twists in the climax, and the conclusion will make you grin - albeit evilly. (Insert wicked laughter here.)

So, if you're looking for a solidly entertaining indie film, you found it, but be warned - you'll want to arrive armed when you show for the reading of Her Last Will!!!

This is not the type of movie I generally watch but I was channel surfing and found myself drawn in by the sheer awfulness of the characters (NOT the sheer awfulness of the acting...I thought the actors all did just fine playing their despicable parts).

Plot summary: Three children of a wealthy woman hire a woman with a shady past (who desperately needs the money) to help them drive their mother insane. The hired woman is ostensibly the "heroine" but...frankly, I think it's a movie with a "protagonist" but no hero. To say anything more would reveal too much of the twisty plot but suffice to say, things are not as they appear initially.

Ultimately, I found the film just a bit too mean-spirited for a whole-hearted recommendation but it's definitely not boring!

NO SPOILERS!! This movie was a total surprise to me and I don't know how I never heard of it. It is a creative domestic thriller with lots of twists and turns. It has some laughs here and there but make no mistake, it's a dark story! I highly recommend it!
