Storyline

The James boys, two of America's most media-oriented killers, Odessa and Kyle have escaped from San Quentin's Death Row. In the midst of a fierce storm and pursued by law-enforcement officers, they find sanctuary by bursting in on and taking hostage the ideal American family, or so they think. After they discover that the daughters are two of their biggest fans, the mother isn't quite what she seems, and the father is perhaps more than their equal, the killers realize the cops are the least of their worries. And as the rain pours down and the dragnet moves closer, the question that emerges is, "Will the killers ever see the light of day?"

excellent film

i saw this movie years ago and still love it today. we actually bought it because it was so good. the story is quite strange, the plot just keeps getting more odd. the characters are awesome though. you never know what insanity will happen next. i'd put it in the B movie category, but that is a good thing to me. B movies are excellent.. and as far this film goes, it's at the top of my B movie list! if you watch this film and have even a shred of sense of humor, you will like it. i promise!

The Convent is another film directed by Mike Mendez. This one is excellent as well. Has a lot of the same qualities as Real Killers did. that same insanity, that same eerie feel. if you liked Real Killers, you will like the Convent also!
