Synopsis

A true story of shocking violence catapults a picturesque little town into history. Julie Walters stars as the head of a perfectly respectable household that is not what it seems. The close sibling relationship between the two maids (Joely Richardson, Jodhi May) takes on a new dimension as Walters discovers a sexual fever between the two sisters. The tensions reach the breaking point in a film you’ll find both beautiful and horrifying. –Image Entertainment

This is what happens when you have too much crazy under one roof. The dark humor is really funny. This movie is very Polanski-esque.

"...On the last step of the staircase a single eye was found intact, complete with the optic nerve. The eye had been torn out without the aid of an instrument."

The performances in this film are solid, especially Joely Richardson, and the cinematography is perfect for the mood of the story.
