4.9/5 (19341 ratings)

Description:What happens when the owners of a crumbling British mansion turn to crime?Freddie and Lady Anne Breech are resigned to sharing their remote, decaying ancestral home on the East Anglian marshes with about forty uninvited guests - residents of a seedy old people's home run by the vicious, greedy Pecry family.While Freddie augments his tiny pension by robbing strangers on the deserted motorway, his wife indulges herself in her passion for shooting the remaining wildlife. As for the Pecrys, they have no qualms about allowing an enthusiastic young would-be doctor to experiment on their charges.But all their lives are changed when an over-curious visitor stops on the road one night and suffers an unfortunate accident. Enter a naïve young journalist from Country Life magazine with a misplaced reverence for the landed gentry, and a potential purchaser with doubtful business ethics, and the resulting confusion begins to get out of hand.And when ex-gangster Bill Staggs also comes down from London for some country air, the elderly couple and their friends among the younger "Golden Guests" discover talents and appetites they never knew they had, as the local Police struggle to keep up with a sex-fuelled crime-wave..."A desolate landscape, a gloomy mansion, an eccentric modern-day «servant» (a male nurse), mysterious visitors and misunderstandings, secret passages, sudden death and other murky goings on - all the ingredients of a gothic novel, but with a late 20th century twist... by the way, all those who want to believe the elderly are sweet old dears - stay away!"
