This odd black comedy was made at the behest of Gene Corman. It didn't do well at the box office but it's pretty good with well-placed shocks and an intriguing plot line.
Cheryl Stratton is a teenager who falls out with her older room-mate Judy. She fetches up at her Aunt Martha's ( Lucille Bentham) hotel populated by a randy gay vicar, the senile former owner, a hopeless drunk and George ( John Ventantonio ) a photographer with a thing for blow-up dolls. Then people start getting killed.
Ayn Ruymen ( as Cheryl )
Sex : Cheryl bathes knowing George is watching
Death : Survives
This was Ayn's first ( and apart from an uncredited role in Jaws her only ) film though she was actually 24 at the time. She worked regularly on TV in the seventies then switched to teaching with only the occasional role up to 1993. She is now 70.
Ann Gibbs ( as Judy )
Sex : Judy is having sex with her boyfriend when disturbed by Cheryl
Death : Martha cuts her throat
Ann didn't re-surface until the mid-eighties after this.
