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.
部分情节的发展较为平淡无奇,但整体上并不影响观影感受。
观影全程如坐针毡,冗长拖沓、乏味剧情,加上糟糕视觉听觉呈现,既无娱乐价值,更谈不上艺术熏陶。
导演的叙事手法独特而巧妙,成功地将观众带入了一个全新的世界。
可惜角色塑造流于表面,过于脸谱化,好人一味善良、坏人纯然邪恶,缺失深度挖掘,难以给人留下深刻印象。
这节奏太慢,剧情拖沓,看得我直打瞌睡,浪费时间!
