This film feels like a Fan tribute to one of the biggest icons of Horror
Movies, the actress mostly working in 1960's Italian film,
Barbara Steele. She owns this film as the mean elderly lady Ann and
also as a really fucked up mother.
A Psycho Horror with a sweet old lady, a butterfly collector and who
likes little girls .... but who hates men and bad little girls.
Steele is magnificent in the role as an old lady maniac,
and scary, wow, she really know how to kill things, butterflies or people.
If you didn't know better she is a pleasant elegant elderly lady who
likes kids. But her eyes, she can be scary with them too.
A psycho horror, yes, but with just a hint of tongue in cheek too and
with some famous horror names in cameo roles, as Heather
Langencamp as Dorothy (Terror on Elm Street) the fucked up middle age
daughter of Ann, or Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your
Grave/What Have You Done to Solange) as Olga, the sugardaddy mommy and
Joe Dante (The Howling/Gremlins) as a taxi driver.

Ann (Steele) lives in an apartment house, she collects
butterflies and lives alone. She's seemingly a good-hearted old woman
who likes
kids but can get a little bit stern when she's annoyed. The neighbour
Claudia (Erica Leerhsen) has a little girl, Julie, who often hangs
with Ann in the old lady's apartment. One month earlier Ann met a lonely
little girl, Alice (Julia Putnam) and as Ann were lonely too
they started to hang out .... but Ann had to pay the girl for her company
and Alice had her mother as her pimp. Then Alice disappeared.
Ann really don't like nosy men disturbing her at home
something the handyman, played nicely by Ray Wise, will get to know.
