1967 • US HMDB

In a dilapidated rural mansion, the last generation of the degenerate, inbred Merrye family lives with the inherited curse of a disease that causes them to mentally regress from the age of 10 or so on as they physically develop. The family chauffeur looks out for them and covers up their indiscretions. Trouble comes when greedy distant relatives and their lawyer arrive to dispossess the family of its home.

•
A family consisting of crazy maniacs, deformed beings, and murderous little girls spends their days killing and attacking anyone who happens near their house. Eccentric and irreverent horror from the sixties that skillfully mixes suspense and irony, not failing to give us some "tasty" gore sequences. In black and white and only available in the original American version with Italian subtitles; not for everyone...
