Spider Baby (1967)
Directed by Jack Hill
In a dilapidated rural mansion, the last generation of the degenerate, inbred Merrye family lives with the inherited curse of a disease that causes them to mentally regress from the age of 10 or so on as they physically develop. The family chauffeur looks out for them and covers up their indiscretions. Trouble comes when greedy distant relatives and their lawyer arrive to dispossess the family of its home.

What critics compared Spider Baby to
Its aesthetic is a mix between the bewitching visuals in both Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled and Marie Antoinette, mixed with Lucky McGee’s disquieting May and Jack Hill’s 1967 Spider Baby.
