action

Maria lives with her father Moris in a huge villa. But there is a deep shadow over the wealthy family. The mother of the family was murdered a few months ago. As a result, Kira became depressed and the father saved himself in work and alcohol. Kira, the youngest daughter, disappeared without a trace, while the oldest daughter Danny is heavily pregnant but lives alone in an apartment in the city. When Kira shows up one day, Maria thinks that everything will be fine.

But that same night, Simona and Franky break into the house. Martyrdom begins for Maria and Kira. So Maria is forced to eat a muffin with nails digging into her tongue. Then she is raped by Franky while Kira's fingernails are torn off. After a failed attempt to escape, Kira and Maria are tied by the hands.

When Kira's friend Lukas wants to see that everything is fine, he is killed and eviscerated in front of the two sisters. Then father Moris comes back. Simona and Franky seem to be up to something with him. But it doesn't come to that because the father defends himself so hard that they have to kill him. Finally, the pregnant daughter, who is killed by Franky, also gets caught.

Then Simona and Franky open up their plan. Simona is the illegitimate, abandoned daughter of the family and wants her share of the inheritance. When they finally find Morris's will, they are amazed: Kira was actually privy to the plan and should share her share of the inheritance with the two attackers. But she has since been disinherited. Maria manages to escape during the quarrel between Kira and Simona. She also manages to kill Franky.

Kira and Simona run after Maria. Kira runs ahead and loses track. When Simona catches up, she kills her accomplice. In the end, Mary is given sole inheritance.

background

Schlaraffenhaus was created with the help of Uwe Boll , who presented the film. Martin Semmelrogge appears as a prominent guest star in one scene.

Leading actress Annika Strauss wrote the script. With the exception of a few scenes, the film was staged like a chamber play and is set mainly in a villa in France.

The film premiered on August 26, 2011 as part of the Midnight Movie series in the cinemas of the UCI Kinowelt chain in Germany and Austria. It was subsequently shown at the Fright Nights and Weekend of Horrors festivals. The German DVD evaluation via Marketing Film and Blu-Ray via TB-Productions had to be cut by six minutes in order to receive the “no youth release ” seal from the FSK . The German language versions on NSM, however, are unabridged. In 2014, another edition appeared in Germany via Intergroove on DVD and Blu-Ray, which is identical to the German cut version published in 2011. In English-speaking countries the film was released as Candy House.

reception

Kino.de write “Low-budget torture horror from home kitchen by Marcel Walz (“ La Petite Mort ”), shortened in the FSK version.” The film service wrote: “A repulsive torture film that was made almost at home and that follows relevant models and makes sense - and lets cruelty run free without judgment ”.

The reviewer wrote on Filmchecker that there was a significant increase in Marcel Walz's work and that the technical implementation in particular was surprisingly successful. However, the film has weaknesses in terms of acting and script, which is very holey.
