The Weekend Murders1970

Horror Vault's take

When a wealthy English patriarch dies and leaves his entire estate to one favoured daughter, the rest of the family descends into barely concealed resentment — and then someone starts killing them off. A bumbling local sergeant and a sharper Scotland Yard inspector find themselves navigating a manor full of suspects, red herrings, and rising body counts. This Italian-made production plays the giallo formula largely for laughs, poking fun at Agatha Christie-style country-house mysteries while still delivering genuine intrigue. Equal parts spoof and slasher, it occupies a gleefully odd niche in early 1970s European genre cinema.
