Crazy Eights (DVD)

Six childhood friends - Gina (Traci Lords), Brent (Frank Whaley), Jennifer (Dina Meyer), Beth (Gabrielle Anwar), Father Lyle Dey (George Newburn) and Wayne (played by the film's writer, Dan Deluca)- are reunited when they attend the funeral of an old acquaintance. When the funeral is done they get together to put the estate in order and when they discover an old map they decide to work together and find an old trunk that they hide in their younger days. When they follow the map to an old building where the trunk is hidden they find the remains of a dead child.

As they collectively begin to remember who the dead child is and what the significance of all of this is, strange things start to happen to them and around them. Paranoia slowly sets in and repressed memories are soon unlocked resulting in a reckoning of sorts, where the six adults must come to terms with their own unorthodox upbringings.

Crazy Eights takes its time to get going but once the action moves to the innards of the eerie orphanage, it picks up.
