When a drunk dude is tricked into thinking he has killed his girlfriend by Girly and Sonny – teens who dress and act like children – he becomes the latest New Friend to join Mumsy and Nanny in their dilapidated Victorian mansion. But he soon finds out what happened to the last New Friend and concocts a plan to escape. Girly is an exceptional blend of comedy and horror that creates a unusual ambiance of pathological infantilism. Our Mother’s House (1967) as rewritten by Lewis Carroll in particularly unhinged Mad Hatter mood. The screenplay, based on the Maisie Mosco play Happy Family, sticks stiffly to its world of ominous children’s games: even the house, a woozy confection of strung together Victorian crap, calls to mind the broken-down mansions popular in children’s fiction. The guests are fed “soldiers” and told off by Mumsy in a nightmare of child rearing, and the “children” have a lullaby or playground taunt for every occasion, menacing new arrivals
