Wiki.

What a Carve Up! is a 1961 British comedy-horror film directed by Pat Jackson and starring Sid James, Kenneth Connor, and Shirley Eaton. It was released in the United States in 1962 as No Place Like Homicide. It was written by Ray Cooney and Tony Hilton, loosely based on the 1928 novel The Ghoul by Frank King. A previous version, titled The Ghoul, was filmed in 1933 by Gaumont-British Pictures.

The film is set in Yorkshire, in a moorland area. Following the supposed death of the latest owner of an isolated country house, his family gathers there for the reading of his will. They learn that they are disinherited, and then find themselves trapped in the house. The family and guests start being killed one by one, and they suspect that the house's owner has faked his death.

The film was used extensively within Jonathan Coe's 1994 satirical novel What a Carve Up! The book's protagonist, Michael Owen, becomes obsessed with the film after first watching it as a young boy, and the last part of the book follows the plot of the film.
