Teenaged siblings Girly and Sonny lure young men back to their home to meet the eccentric Mumsy and Nanny. There, the men are forced to take part in strange games, the rules of which are never defined - and if they refuse, or transgress the unwritten rules, they're killed. But they may have met their match in New Friend, their latest victim, who starts to manipulate the foursome, setting one against the other. Bizarre combination of late sixties avant garde and sleaze. Director Freddie Francis had made horrors for both Hammer and Amicus but this is nothing like any of them. Shot on location with an atmosphere mixing playground horror and conservatory theatre that is downright weird and unsettling. The great lost girl of sixties British horror, Vanessa Howard, shines as she does in those other rarely seen gems Corruption [1967] and What Became of Jack and Jill [1972]. If Harold Pinter had made The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] for the BBC this could have resulted. Excellent and unique.
在国外,莫名想看恐怖片,看到迈克尔·布莱恩特,厄休拉·豪威尔斯,帕特·海伍德这个阵容本来还是有点小期待。结果,哎...很是失望,奇奇怪怪尴尴尬尬,剧情也一言难尽...虽然现在都在拍主旋律都在拍正剧,但也不能这种充数,演员和剧本还是硬功夫。什么时候我们也能拍出那种能够真正吸引人的剧呢?
