Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful
Things
From the American Genre
Film Archive... A twisted mind snaps and a wave of terror begins.
"Aunt Martha is one of the most
bizarre concepts ever presented by a narrative exploitation picture. It feels
like Glen Or Glenda under the guise of Andy Milligan." - Joseph A. Ziemba,
BleedingSkull.com, Alamo Drafthouse
"The Odd Couple reinvented as a low
budget crime film combining the bitchiest elements of Andy Milligan’s output
with the low rent Florida charm of The Guy From Harlem, but with way more
homoeroticism." - Ian Jane, RockShockPop.com
"This delightfully deviant odyssey
into Florida-based cinematic obscurity is incredibly ‘out there’, man." - Carroll Jenkins, 10KBullets.com
While on
the run from the law, two criminals decide to hide out in a small Florida town. The
ringleader, Paul, concocts a plan to pretend to be his child-like accomplice
Stanley's estranged Aunt Martha. Taking over a large old house, Paul
and Stanley attempt to lay low, but trouble soon arises when a local girl takes
a liking to Stanley
and invites him out with her friends. Paul, becoming increasingly
paranoid, decides that the only way they can maintain their cover is by
murdering everyone who has even the slightest suspicion of what's really going
on, but Stanley
isn't so sure he wants to keep on hiding...
This
bizarre, Florida
shot regional film made by one-time director Thomas Casey is less a horror
movie than a hybrid of crime thriller and vaguely homoerotic relationship
drama, with some bloody death scenes and moments of T&A thrown in for good
measure.
