Director Lance Comfort brings us a wicked tale of an even more wicked woman. The movie opens with a group of women in a small Irish village talking amongst themselves about how much they dislike Emily (Siobhan McKenna).
This young woman apparently has men falling all over her and the local women cannot stand that. They talk to the local minister who, from what we can gather, also wants Emily, but he talks to her and she leaves town after visiting a carnival and scarring a young man after acting in self defense.
Emily arrives at a small farm and works as a cook. She manages to seduce all of the men there as well, but this time there are several murders.
Now what is really odd is that Emily is not what one would call a "knockout" seductress, but watching her you know there is something there, and from what we are told in the dialogue of the film, men just cannot resist it.
This is a well made thriller that is an almost perfect blend of horror and film noir. The performances are all very good and the dark rainey countryside serves the movie well.
I really recommend this fine thriller and you'll never guess the ending to it until you see it. The rest of the cast includes Barry Morse, Anne Crawford, Honor Blackman, Maxwell Reed, and Grant Tyler.
