Natasha Parry plays a newlywed who moves into her husband's country home at Crow Hollow that is already occupied by his three somewhat eccentric aunts. Gradually, not least after an experience with one of their venomous spiders, she realises that the old dears want shot of her and can be pretty creative in their attempts at murder. Donald Houston is OK as the rather pathetic husband but the film really belongs to "Aunt Judith" portrayed by Esma Cannon - combining dottiness and menace quite engagingly. It takes quite a long time to get to the climax but just about worth it.
