This is a "Hammer" film that I just finished watching on video. I'm not really a fan of Hammer films, although I'm sure I saw all of them while growing up in England, and this is probably one of the better ones. It's set in Bavaria, and is basically a story of how madness runs through a family, and also through the whole community. The film is largely very slow, and discordant, but it definitely does grab you near the end, leading up to a pretty eerie and weird climax. Weren't all the Hammer films like this?...
