Teenaged siblings Girly and Sonny lure young men back to their home to meet the eccentric Mumsy and Nanny. There, the men are forced to take part in strange games, the rules of which are never defined - and if they refuse, or transgress the unwritten rules, they're killed. But they may have met their match in New Friend, their latest victim, who starts to manipulate the foursome, setting one against the other. Bizarre combination of late sixties avant garde and sleaze. Director Freddie Francis had made horrors for both Hammer and Amicus but this is nothing like any of them. Shot on location with an atmosphere mixing playground horror and conservatory theatre that is downright weird and unsettling. The great lost girl of sixties British horror, Vanessa Howard, shines as she does in those other rarely seen gems Corruption [1967] and What Became of Jack and Jill [1972]. If Harold Pinter had made The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] for the BBC this could have resulted. Excellent and unique.
如何评价《和谐家庭》
首先声明,我是真的挺喜欢这部《和谐家庭》小片的,n刷过后我也看了一些导演和演员的相关采访,对这个电影也有了一些更深的感受和想说的话。这其实是于适自己在路演的时候对电影的形容,我觉得还挺准确的:他说这部电影就像一瓶冰镇过的橘子姜味汽水,一开始喝下去凉爽愉悦,但最后回味起来又会有点辛辣苦涩,我现在可以说就处在这个回味的阶段。
优酷网友热评:慕名去看,画面很精致,演技也在线,台词意味深长,编剧非常用力,最终呈现出来的是一支华丽的舞蹈。
来自网易云网友的评价:导演以自身的传统美学功底,对电影的写实艺术特性也有精深的理解和把握,他特别擅以生动的细节描绘人物的内心活动,并调动电影的各种艺术元素为塑造人物服务。
