Description

Barbara (Robin Strasser) is about to marry David (Arthur Roberts) who works for her father (John Beal). A strong-willed woman, she intends that she and David will move into a house she has designed and built herself, which stands isolated in the middle of the countryside.

On their wedding day, after the ceremony, Barbara discovers David in a steamy clinch with his old flame Helen (Iva Jean Saraceni) and attacks him with a pair of scissors, before smashing the wedding cake and driving away in the bridal limousine.

Weeks pass by and she doesn’t return. David invites Helen to move in with him at his house but it’s not long before strange events proliferate: the two of them receive threatening telephone calls and David suffers terrifying nightmares about Barbara…

Is she still alive and seeking vengeance, or is she dead and haunting him? Either way, the pressure is driving him towards madness, culminating in a terrifying visit to the house that Barbara built…

Description: Very much the psychological terror this one. It’s quite interesting and has decent use of camera angles. Not much seems to happen for the most part but the ending is clever enough to be worth the wait. Ideal for viewing very late at night.
