Carol (Candy Hammond), who lives in a mansion with her wheelchair-bound
mother Claris (Maggie Rogers), has decided to invite all her brothers and
sisters, plus their spouces - much to the dismay of her mother, who
doesn't like any of them. And with good reason, most of them are quite mad
and have incestuous tendencies ... especially Carol, who had an affair
going on with her brother Michael (Robert Service) for years.
Of course, mother was right in not wanting to have them around, because
as soon as they're here, someone starts bumping all these people off: One
(Lisa Hart) is killed when someone throws a radio into the bathtub with
her, another (Eileen Hayes) gets a knife planted in her chest, yet another
(Helena Velos) gets acid thrown over her face and body and someone else
(Jerry Cortez) is hit over the ehad with a shovel. Even the servant couple
(Jonathan East, Pauline Ramsay), who were plotting to kill the old lady
and inherit everything but spend most of their time making love in the
kitchen, get their just desserts when someone mixes poison into their
drinks (their death-scene is hilarious, maybe the funniest death by
poisoning ever committed on film).
Somehow though, nobody in the house seems to really care that they are
decimated by the numbers, because everyone is shagging away like nobody's
business - including a few performers I don't think feature in the
film otherwise.
Finally, the killer turns out to be Carol, and she pushes her
wheelchair-bound mom down a flight of stairs.
Why ?
Because she wants to be with her bro Michael, that's why.
But for some reason, bro Michael finds the perspective to live with a
madwoman less than appealing, so he kills her.
Wooden actors delivering stilted, nonsensical dialogue with a total
lack of irony in a cheap and badly written formula movie that doesn't
understand its formula too well - yep, it's an Andy Milligan-film. Here
though the whole script seems like nothing more than a feeble excuse to
cram as many sex scenes as possible into one feature, with the silly plot
being little more than a bridgeing device.
However, that said one has to confess that the film is surprisingly
moodily lit and the camerawork is inspired throughout, withthe occasional
touch of greatness - which is quite unusual for a Milligan-feature.
