The Cat and the Canary
For God's Sake, Stay in Your Rooms and Lock the Doors!
Directed by Radley Metzger
Produced by Grenadier Films
A campy, playful horror-comedy that blends old-house mystery tropes with comedic timing and self-aware genre pastiche.
A group of potential heirs gather in a forbidding old house to learn which of them will inherit a fortune. Later, they learn that a flesh-rending maniac is loose.
