      Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's creepy and funny all at once, hovering in that murky area between comical exploitation and gruesome horror. Rated: 7/10 Aug 30, 2020 Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator Apart from a few camera rambles round a toy and axe strewn mansion and sunnily murderous garden, the film is only indifferently horrific and seldom funny. Jul 7, 2018 Full Review Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique Although initially intriguing, the eccentric English humor goes only so far, and the plot...needs more engaging performances and a stronger ending. Apr 14, 2010 Full Review Josh Bell Filmcritic.com This forgotten oddity is ripe for rediscovery -- like its characters, it may get to you even if you don't realize it. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 7, 2010 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 1/5 Jun 12, 2005 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Treacle mixed with venom is an ugly little concoction called Girly.

      Matthew D Wanted to like it more than I did. Its's well directed with game performances and some clever moments, but it's also one joke stretched into 101 minutes. It got a little tedious. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/20 Full Review Audience Member Girly is one of those rare cinema gems that denies you a gut reaction and leaves you in a state of perpetual confusion...until days later when you realize you've actually seen something new and groundbreaking. Not so much traditional horror as it is psychological horror, an unnerving experience in which you're held hostage by a family that is sociopathic, if not as traditionally violent as the Sawyer / Leatherface family. The movie was initially looked over because of sheer "indifference" - it wasn't a slasher movie or a thriller. But what it was, was a psychological study in psychosis. A pioneer of the psychological horror genre, as well as a political satire. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This looks like an uneventful children's movie, but it is actually full of psychological horror. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member You and your childish games - says Diana to Charles Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, this film turned out to be a bit flat. I expected something way gorier, being a black comedy and all. It's not funny, it's not scary and it's not that weird - three strong features I hoped for before watching it. It's quite surreal and mysterious and the nutjob family and plot is OK. A rather unknown film, never being a hit in UK - where it was produced. It got some fame in US, but not much. The acting and the looks of Girly (Vanessa Chartoff) is my guess why it got any attention at all. She gave up acting shortly after the film, unaware of the glimse of fame the film got in US. Anyhow, a film that should have been weirder, gorier, funnier and better in most ways. Not a total disaster, but more a curiosity. Strangly enough it got some sort of appeal and it's not a boring film. I'm pretty sure Kubric saw this film by the way... 4 out of 10 axe holes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member (Also known as Mumsy, Nanny, Sonny and Girly.) Strangely funny & creepy for a 70's flick. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
