Description:
Mortimer Brewster, a celebrated writer and critic who fiercely opposes marriage, unexpectedly falls in love and marries. Returning to his childhood home to share the news with his two eccentric aunts, he discovers a shocking secret: they secretly murder lonely old men and bury them in the cellar. Forced to confront this disturbing truth, Mortimer must re-evaluate his views on love, family, and what's right and wrong. The film blends comedy and suspense to reveal the darkness lurking beneath a seemingly normal suburban existence.
