Next of Kin is a 1982 psychological horror film co-written and directed by Tony Williams, and starring Jackie Kerin and John Jarratt.

After her estranged mother's death, Linda Stevens inherits a rural estate called Montclare, which has been in her family for years.

Linda begins reading old diaries left in the house by her mother, in which she describes being unsettled in the home and believing someone is watching her.

Upon further delving into her mother's diaries, Linda finds that there is a precedent for mysterious deaths in the retirement community, particularly an inordinate number of drownings.

Convinced that Dr. Barton and another employee, Connie, are murdering residents, she flees to town on foot and locates Barney in a panic.
