They claim this is based on an Edgar Allan Poe tale, but I just figured it was a horror tale about a woman who has dreams about being buried alive and it had no connection with the famous author.
Brinke Stevens is Victoria Munroe, a young woman with a lot of money and a dishonest husband who is plotting to kill her. She does not know this at first as she seeks help from her doctor in stopping her dreams.
Victoria's husband Terry (Jay Richardson) is having an affair with his striking and gorgeous secretary Lisa (Delia Sheppard) and thry both want her dead.
It seems that Terry has a gambling problem and owes a huge sum of money to crime boss Visconti (Robert Quarry). Terry wants to use her dreams as a way of killing his wife, so he and Lisa attempt to scare her to death.
The plan backfires on them and Victoria is turned into a raving madwoman with a large knife who exacts her revenge on both Lisa and Terry. I don't care whTat anyone says, this is an excellent thiller.
There are a lot of familiar faces in here, which I will get to in a bit, but I have to mention that the main reason for me being a huge fan of this film isn't that it's a Fred Olen Ray film, it's because of Delia Sheppard. This was the first film I saw this Danish born actress, and I fell in love with her.
She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in films and her character of Lisa is perfect in my opinion. The rest of the cast includes Michael Barryman, Robert Clarke, Hoke Howell, Jan-Michael Vincent, Karen Black and Greta Carlson. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
