Review of Girly

Girly (1970)
Deliciously mean spirited and morbidly comical British offering

Warning: Spoilers
Mumsy and Nanny have RULES.

...this applies to "the children" as well as the playmates they bring home...hapless unfortunates lured to the family's sprawling estate, where etiquette and proper grammar facade some very grisly goings on-- fun and games, wherein "playmates" become "slaymates" at the hands of Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny, and Girly. A wonderfully grim jab to the funny bone, this droll little shocker deserves a more prominent spot in the annals of cult cinema. Performances are A+ all the way around, especially from the juvenile leads, and the direction and camera-work are meritorious.

Catch this one wherever possible, above-average(and decidedly VERY British)lunacy you don't want to miss.
