This takes place in the early 1900s (for no earthly reason I can think of). Three sisters and their husbands go to their late fathers estate located on a remote island. They all seem to get along but soon a masked killer is going around and killing everybody but who and why? Believe me this film is so badly made you won't care! Terribly directed film by the "legendary" Andy Milligan. He was known for making no budget horror films with threadbare scripts, terrible actors (most of who never made another movie) and gore effects that are so bad you won't believe what you're seeing. For some reason this man has a following. Why?????? The films aren't bad enough to be good (like Ed Wood films) and the acting and gore is just laughable.
Anyways this film is, as I said, terribly directed. The camera wanders all over the place not seeming to know where to go. Most of the film is shot in tight closeups--probably to cover up the cheap sets. The production design is threadbare--the costumes actually looked pretty good but the rooms are small and cramped. One room has wallpaper (which I don't think existed back in the early 1900s) that will make you dizzy! The script is OK but full of things that don't add up. Early on it's made clear that two characters--Richard and Walter--were lovers...and then NOTHING is done with it! Then why tell us??? The acting is surprisingly not bad. No one is fantastic but no one is really bad either. They all say their lines with conviction. There's a few flashes of female nudity and some pointless sex scenes. Still this is a bad film with terrible direction, threadbare sets and gore that is so lousy it staggers the imagination. Stephen King said this was made by morons with cameras. Mr. King is 100% right. A 1 all the way.
