What happens
Blood and Lace is a 1971 American exploitation horror film directed by Philip Gilbert, written by Gil Lasky, and starring Gloria Grahame, Melody Patterson, Len Lesser, and Milton Selzer. The film follows an orphaned teenager (Patterson) who arrives at a remote orphanage run by a madwoman (Grahame) and her handyman, both sadists and child murderers. Shot in Los Angeles in 1970 and released theatrically in early 1971, Blood and Lace became a frequent billing on the drive-in theater circuit throughout the 1970s. At the time, it was considered to be one of the most graphic American films to receive what was then known as the GP rating, precursor to the modern PG rating; it would later be re-rated R upon its release on home video. It has been cited as a progenitor of the modern slasher film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
