A visually sumptuous old dark house gothic giallo from director Antonio Margheriti starring Jane Birkin, Anton Diffring and Serge Gainsbourg.
Somebody is killing off members of the MacGrieff clan in this Scottish set tale and suspicion falls on 'mad' son James (Hiram Keller) and his pet gorilla (strangely also called James).
Gainsbourg plays a supporting role as the local police inspector with a great Scottish accent and Diffring plays his usual suave but unlikeable character he does so often in these movies.
Riz Ortolani contributes an effect and atmospheric score that compliments Margheriti's stunningly composed camerawork.
Can't recommend this one highly enough, a must see.
