Can't believe this movie came before black christmas , halloween ,or 13th for that matter. This plays out like a straight up slasher and comes along way before the slasher genre craze. One of the best of it's kind, tv movie, proto slasher all rolled into one, loved it!

It's Samantha from Bewitched!

Quick, Samantha, wiggle your nose!

Arrgh, FFS!

Una mujer, una casa, mucha lluvia y sospechas. Final algo predecible, pero no por ello menos disfrutable.

can't decide if Elizabeth Montgomery in this TV movie is the bravest big sis in cinema history, or the thickest.

some good suspense here - enough for a rainy day afternoon - but that mixed in with some really dull phone calls, some "huh?" moments, and oodles of scenes of just wandering around a house (kind of like a watered-down The Spiral Staircase).

Solid little TV suspenser featuring Elizabeth Montgomery as a woman in a big house during a storm and unaware that her sister is dead in the basement.

Elizabeth Montgomery was too amazing to deserve such a shit movie career!!!

A woman becomes concerned when he sister goes missing. Investigating at the sister's house, she becomes increasingly fearful that something horrible has happened. Montgomery delivers a solid performance, and some suspense does build but film ends rather abruptly.

Sadly, not as good as it sounds. Elizabeth Montgomery was terrific, as usual, and Eileen Heckart was good as the bitchy old housekeeper. There was also some decent suspense, but there's so little story here that even the brief 73 minute running time seems excessive. And you know you've got a lazy writer when the killer turns out to be the first and most obvious guess. Some have made the argument that this is a proto-slasher, but I beg to differ. This did not feel like a slasher in any way, shape, or form. There's ONE murder, and a (barely) terrorized woman alone in a house during a thunderstorm – these are elements included in almost every thriller since that genre started. Except for Elizabeth Montgomery's performance, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about this film at all.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Why does my mom make me watch so many 70’s made for TV movies

Edge of your seat thriller
This is a spooky little film and Elizabeth Montgomery was wonderful playing the part of Katherine wainwright.

Today is Elizabeth Montgomery's birthday so every day this week Sara and I are going to try and watch something that she's in!

This was very impressive from the standpoint of it being one of her very first roles after Bewitched ended. There are no Samantha moments here, she went for a very classic horror movie performance, and I enjoyed that. Nothing else about it was great unfortunately, I was left with more questions than answers, and there was a weird Rebecca-ish subplot for about 10 minutes?

6.0/10
