| User ReviewLee AClassic early 70's creepy/gory horror. |
| User Reviewjay nSuperbly-sleazy Grade Z cheeseball-horror-buffet as only the 1970's could produce, with fountains of copious ketchuppy-blood generously applied with reckless abandon. The greedy heirs of the dying southern matriarch Delilah (Played with thick slices of schmaltzy ham by the great Agnes Moorehead-) initiate a scavenger hunt for a cache of the family fortune hidden somewhere on the grounds of Delilah's decaying estate. One-by-one, the participants are knocked off in hilariously-amateurish ways by an unseen assailant, although it's inferred that the housekeeper, a recently-released inmate of the local booby-hatch, is the culprit. A joyously lowbrow & low-rent romp in wretched excess. |
| User ReviewThomas HThis is certainly a lost classic. I really wish I could get a hold of this on DVD. It probably won't be as good as the first time I saw it because I knew someone that had an old film reel of it, but none the less, I hope it can be made available to me someday. |
| User ReviewJames CTrain wreck of a flick where a young woman is sent to prison for murdering her mother and then is released years later. She winds up being invited to an estate where a family of siblings are squabbling over what should be done with the inheritance and estate once the lone shareholder (Deliah who is confined to a wheelchair) has past on which apparently isnt fast enough for some of them. Eventually people start end up being taken out one by one with the main suspect being the recent prisoner, however, not everything is as it seems. Problem is, bad acting, bad execution, and silly ending. 3/10 |
