This is a pretty good early 70's Euro-Trash Horror flick, wherein a young man (John) is released from a nut house after he supposedly tried to rape his cousin, and he's released to go live with his aunt and her three daughters, one of whom was supposedly his intended target. But he's not exactly approaching this from the "I want to get better and make things well again" method, his motives are revenge. John is also rather adept at practical jokes and also a little words or statement here and there to turn people against each other. When things really get rolling it's rather disturbing, for sure, like his putting his slaughterhouse training into action when he trusses up his three cousins. Bot no fear, auntie and cousins don't fare too badly at all but John seems to, or does he? This is full of rather creepy moments and good atmosphere, and owes one particular scene to a story I've read sometime in my life, the scene where the three daughters return from fishing on the sea, which John has set up for a guest as a ghost story, since the three girls "drowned and whenever there's a fog auntie leaves the doors open for them". This isn't great but it's well worth seeing for fans of Euro-horror. 7 out of 10.
