The original British title for No Place Like Homicide was What a Carve-Up. This level of sophistication was maintained for the film itself, a horror film parody served up by members of the Carry On ga... read more read more...ng. There's a wisp of plot about an wealthy recluse who apparently dies, then equally apparently comes to life again to bump off his greedy relatives. For the most part, the scripters use the story as an excuse for irreverent and tasteless haunted-house gags. No Place Like Homicide was a remake of the deadly serious 1933 Boris Karloff vehicle The Ghoul, though a cursory comparison of the two films reveals precious little resemblance between them. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    A horror-comedy from the UK about a guy who is down-on-his luck only to be listed in the will of a wealthy recently deceased uncle. He travels with his roommate to the will reading (they have a British Abbott and Costello thing going on). In typical fashion, the will is to be rea... read mored in an isolated mansion with a group of folks who all look to benefit if their are fewer inheritors. One woman is bequeathed all the dead man's drugs, pills, serums, and hypodermic needles! The guests start to drop and the remaining ones attempt to figure out the mystery of who is commiting the murders. Very typical story (formulatic "old dark house"), done with a good amount of British humor make this one memorable. (An earlier British film, Universal horror-styled The Ghoul from 1933, was apparently based on the same story, but done with minimal humor.)
