Straight old timey chiller from porn filmmaker Radley Metzger, who does a solid job. I like the genre - will readers and people who have to survive until dawn. There's not a lot of humour in it or that much suspense, but it's fine. Baddie conveniently waits a long time to kill heroine so enable male lead to come to rescue.
Cast is B/C list, I guess except Wendy Hiller who is a the housekeeper. Wilfid Hyde White is the deceased (in a video) and Carol Lynley bad, all awkward and dull, as the female lead. Michael Callan gets a decent later film role as her paramour who may or may not be bad. There's people like Daniel Massey and Peter McEnery who you'll vaguely recognise and others like Honor Blackman and Olivia Hussey (who probs should've played the lead she does "scared" very well) who you will recognise.
