SYNOPSIS

Mortimer Brewster is living a happy life: he has a steady job at a prominent New York newspaper, he’s just become engaged, and he gets to visit his sweet spinster aunts to announce the engagement. Mortimer always knew that his family had a bit of a mad gene – his brother believes himself to be Teddy Roosevelt and his great-grandfather used to scalp Indians for pleasure – but his world is turned upside down when he realises that his dear aunts have been poisoning lonely old men for years!
When Mortimer’s maniacal brother, Jonathan – who strangely now resembles Boris Karloff – returns on the night that the aunts were planning to bury their newest victim, Mortimer must rally to help his aunts and protect his fiancée — all while trying to keep his own sanity, as well.
