The titular character is a wannabe detective and spends her days with her best friend, smoking marijuana and spying on her very eccentric neighbours.
The Gammons move in, and despite their eccentricities, are affable, and Elfie grows to like the man of the house.
Soon though, things start happening, and people start to go missing, and Elfie assumes that the Gammons have something to do with this....
It's a really strange movie this one, and you really have to be in the right frame of mind to see this, because it doesn't know what it wants to be, Horror, Comedy, Drama, even parody.
It's as if The League Of Gentlemen had written an episode of Midsomer Murders and injected an element of the seventies to it......and it works to an extent.
The cast are okay, and as usual Winstone is brilliant, she is one of those actresses you could watch anything in, she has a brilliant screen presence.
On the whole though, it really is an oddity, very eccentric to begin with, and the final third goes very sinister and leftfield.
Not for everyone, but a curioso piece nevertheless..
