I have had many chances to see this movie, but never did, at least until now, and it's not too bad. Far from Franco's best, but no where near his worst.
The main attractions in this film are the beautiful scenery and the beautiful women Franco always seems to have in his movies. Christina Von Blanc stars as as Christina, a beautiful young woman who returns to he family estate for the reading of her father's will.
Upon arrival in the town she asks where the house is and is told nobody lives there. When she gets to the house she meets her family members, and what a weird group they turn out to be.
They never smile and they act like they are hiding a secret.It is really no secret to the viewer and there are plenty of bizarre set pieces in this movie as well as Howard Vernon acting crazy. He and Christina have several wierd as hell conversations. You gotta see the film to understand.
The movie ends on a rather twisted note and reminded me somewhat of "Carnival Of Souls" mixed with "Night Of The Living Dead" and a few others I have seen.
I enjoyed to movie, but I will say it isn't for everyone. There is a lot of nudity, but not a virgin to be found. Von Blanc looks great in and out of clothes.
The rest of the cast includes the director himself as a mute servant of the "family", Anne Libert, Britt Nickols, Rosa Palomar, and Paul Muller.
Easily recommended for Franco fans as well as fans of totally bizarre cinema.
