Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly 64/100 One of the oddest movies I’ve seen that keeps a traditional narrative.
It feels like a parent of the BBC comedy League of Gentlemen. An odd family group consisting of a mother, a nanny, a boy and a girl live in an odd old house (I think the one used in the Rocky Horror Picture Show), and the boy and girl go out and entice men back to play ‘games’. The family is in a state of arrested development, with the oldish (17? maybe) children acting like children, and mumsy and nanny treating them as such, but the games descend into violence at the drop of a hat. This movie involves them picking up a “new friend” who decides to play them at their own game.
Shades of The Prisoner, The Beguiled, Sunset Boulevard, and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane, with a pinch of The Addams Family. It has to be seen to be believed, really.
