The Hamiltons - Mitchell Altieri / Phil Flores - USA - (2006)



Plot from Imdb: "Four young adult siblings try to fend for themselves after the mysterious death of their parents. But they harbor some dark secrets which include abducting and killing strangers, and feeding them to a mysterious 'thing' living in their cellar."

Nice little movie with a nice twist. The "family" is filled with real characters which add to the feeling of nausea when the killing starts. Good cast and, for once, good use of the "POV shots" inserts, as the youngest is documenting his family using a DV camera...
A good use of a family drama in a horror piece...It's good to see a genre movie where not every characters is a caricature of himself.  The twist is great if you haven't guessed it before and explains the family behavior from a drastically different point of view. 
At the end of the day, not a masterpiece of any kind but a solid b-movie, way more intelligent than the average.
