This murder mystery.slasher film has been widely neglected for some reason. It's not the greatest movie of the genre, but it's much better than most.
A nurse named Merideth Stone (Patricia Pearcy) moves into a mansion to care for a crippled man named Ivar Langrock (Joseph Cotton) and while everything starts out ok, it soon goes very wrong.
There seems to be several skeltons in the family closet and people start to die in various gruesome ways. There are some interesting scenes in here and the twist ending is a kicker.
Cotton made one more movie after this before retiring and it's always a pleasure to see him in anything. It's a good gothic horror film that really slow burns, but, as I said, the climax is worth it.
The presentation from VS is excellent and I do recommend this obscure thriller for fans of the slasher genre.
