A
troubled woman named Margaret
(Barbara Steele) is tired of
taking care of her crippled and
sick elderly bitter husband Dr.
John Hichcock (Elio Jotta) and so
she has an affair with another
doctor named Charles Livingstone
(Peter Baldwin).
Eventually she gets him to poison
her husband to death so the two
of them can get their hands on
his sprawling estate and hefty
inheritance.
Charles injects John with poison
than his regular medicine and
John passes away.
However, his soul still seems to
be living in the mansion as the
two of them are haunted by him.
They hear sounds and see
hallucinations. Plus they see his
wheelchair rolling by as well as
seeing other people talking using
his voice.
They can't seem to find John's
treasures in his safe either.
This drives Margaret to lose her
sanity and is in for the shock of
her life in the end.
I always tried to
take an interest in Italian
horror films but this one was a
real bore.
At first it seems like the story
will pick up but it's a
disappointmkent nonetheless.
Plus the editing and dubbing is
terribly out of shape.
Babara Steele
seems to pull off well with her
intensity in the film and her
character would also be a good
role for Elizabeth Taylor
too.
Elio Jotta does well with
his performance as the bitter
crippled man.
A body is decayed
and there is blood but nothing
too graphic.
Italian
writer/director Robert
Hampton does his best to try
and please his horror fans but
doesn't succeed all too well with
this one.
The music was
better than the story which was
composed by Francesco De
Masi, Franco Wallace and Roman
Vlad.
