A lawyer and his mistress arrive in a small New England town to sell a mansion for a client. The local townspeople, including the mayor, sheriff and newspaper editor, give him a cold reception. He spends the night in the mansion with the girl and both are brutally murdered. The owner of the house arrives and old skeletons are brought out of the closet. In sepia-toned, heavily altered flashback sequences we learn the house was once a mental institution whose residents turned on the aristocratic operators. These scenes are very well done and almost hallucinatory. Several former members of Andy Warhol's NYC factory scene are in the film, but it still suffers from a confused script and too many dark scenes.
