Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Christopher Lee appears at the start of this farrago as a suave aristo who on the turn of a card loses his beloved ancestral home to a sleazy record producer, but neglects to warn the new owner that his des res comes complete with an evil jester who slaughters unwelcome visitors. Lee subsequently pops up chuckling from the madhouse, as the sick and sad jester disposes of the cast in various repellent ways. There's the threat of a sequel.Author: AO
