  • Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly -- The odd quartet of the title live in an out-of-the-way Victorian mansion to which they lure unsuspecting strangers to play "games" with them, which end in their being murdered in one ghoulish way or another. British horror movie directed by Freddie Francis, it lacks any story development or suspense, fails to elicit sympathy for its looney protagonists and falls flat as comedy, though the dialogue is frequently unintentionally amusing. Violence. (A-III) (R) ( 1970 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
