THE GHASTLY ONES is one of Andy Milligan's films that delt with mystery combined with the slasher film genre. Well made with some heavy atmosphere, THE GHASTLY ONES succeds in being a good low budget film. The plot is pretty simple. Taking place in the Victorian period, three couples go to an island off the coast of New York to recieve an inheritence from their fathers mansion. Inhabiting the house is two old maids and a hunchback. Soon grisly murders take place and the question is "Who is the killer?"
Milligan supplies the good photography on his 16mm camera while the acting is convincing. And for a film on a $10,000 budget, that is saying alot! The gore is also on the level from convinving to just plain silly. Brutal killings involve a pitchfork shoved up someone's neck, a victim being sawed in half, a head on a platter, meat cleavers cracking skulls, and other bizare occurences.
THE GHASTLY ONES was filmed for J.E.R. Pictures for Jerry Balsam in 1967. J.E.R. would also distribute Milligan's DEPRAVED! and THE DEGENERATES during that same year. Also, THE GHASTLY ONES played on a double bill in the early 1970's with THE HEADLESS EYES.
Milligan was probably unhappy with the results of THE GHASTLY ONES, so he tried it again in his film SEEDS (1968) and LEGACY OF BLOOD (1978).
I recommend THE GHASTLY ONES to true Andy Milligan fans. And I am one of them.
