Review of Girly

Girly (1970)
7/10
You better obey the rules
5 March 2017
Vanessa Howard (Girly) and Howard Trevor (Sonny) live with Ursula Howells (Mumsy) and Pat Heywood (Nanny) in a walled off large house. Howard and Trevor go in search of friends to play with and bring them back to the house. There is a main thing going on here – they are mad. Everyone in the house is mad. If the guests don't obey rules, there are serious consequences.

This film is creepy and stays with you after it has finished. It's disturbing but thankfully doesn't dwell on gore so it scores points for that. Violent acts are carried out but not shown graphically, some not shown at all. Thank goodness. There is no doubt that all four characters – mumsy, nanny, sonny and girly – are unhinged.

I used to have no problem with the idea that rules are there for being broken but after watching this, I think the best thing to do is obey in some circumstances. The ending of the film is not completely resolved – you are left to imagine what happens next.
