Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A grotesque carnival of dysfunction housed in a decaying mansion, where horror and black comedy collide in a film that finds dark absurdity in its degenerate premise. It's transgressive and deliberately nasty, uninterested in making its subjects sympathetic but fascinated by the pathology on display.
