Frightmare

What terrifying craving made her kill... and kill... and kill...

A darkly comedic proto-slasher exploitation film that mines horror and dark humor from a cannibalistic mother's release from an asylum and her family's dawning realization of her continued depravity.

In 1957, Dorothy and Edmund Yates were committed to an institution for the criminally insane, she for acts of murder and cannibalism and he for covering up her crimes. Fifteen years later, they are pronounced fit for society and released. However, in Dorothy's case the doctors may have jumped the gun a bit. Edmund and eldest daughter, Jackie, try to discover just how far Mother's bloodlust has taken her. Meanwhile, youngest daughter Debbie begins to explore the crazy roots of her family tree as fully as possible.
