Next of Kin was something of a disappointment to me in terms of the horror quota of gore. There are long periods throughout this film where virtually nothing happens. A 24 year old girl, Linda, slightly creepy looking too, takes over her mother's business, a elderly restoration home in this big old building. Strange things start happening as mentioned exactly in her mother's diary. Yes something evil looms in the eerie hallways and empty rooms of this old historic place, that takes the lives eight patients if I can remember, none of the deaths hardly violent. A much younger John Jarratt, way before his Wolf Creek killing days, adds some spark as Linda's loopy, laid back boyfriend, you feel thankful for his presence, which is not that much. The teaser for it, is a teaser, showing you all the good bits, a real deception in what was a real horror disappointment for me.
