I am slowly introducing my wife to the wonders of Milligan and we started with this one. I told her I had never seen this film, but it turns out I was wrong. I have this on a Sinister Cinema double bill with "Headless Eyes".
The story is pretty simple. Three couples are invited to the mansion of their late father and must spend three days there in order to collect an inheritance.
They find the house already inhabited by two housekeepers and a nitwit hunchback named Colin (Hal Borske). One by one people are killed in the house by gruesome means including pitchforks, disembowelment and dismemberment.
This is a typical Milligan production shot for about $13,000. The effects aren't very good, but what can one expect for that kind of money. It's not a bad film considering, and if you're a gore fan you'll go for this.
The opening scene with the gory murder of a couple is never explained but it seems to have been tacked on for shock value. The print from Severin is as nice as it gets and I don't think anyone would be disappointed.
My wife survived this epic and I intend on showing her more of the works of Andy Milligan. Check it out.
