THE MAFU CAGE
Two strange sisters live in a crumbling mansion, where they keep a pet ape, which belonged to their late father, locked in a cage. While one of the sisters seems to be keeping her head on straight, as it were, the other appears to be sinking further and further into barbarism and insanity.
About This Film
Grant and Kane play a pair of incestuous sisters who live together in a house that is falling apart in the Hollywood Hills. Their house was formerly owned by their late anthropologist father. Ellen (Grant), an astronomer, tries her best to take care of Sissy (Kane), a mentally ill eccentric who enjoys keeping her pet "mafus" (apes) in a cage in their living room.[5] None of the mafus last long, given Sissy's violent outbursts.
