Bruce M @BruceMc Sep 27 Nice little B-movie, owes a large debt to Clouzot's "Diabolique," is very slowly paced but is still quite watchable. Subtext involving incest is interesting. Basic plot is mother and daughter determine to kill abusive husband/father, but his body keeps turning up. Psychedelia to indicate memory/madness. All the stars, especially Yvonne Mitchell as the wife, are quite good. See more 12/16/2020 Pretty creepy but shame about the unanswered ending. See more steve d 06/03/2020 Adequately made except for the terrible sound quality but the story is boring and there is no reason to care about anything going on. See more 05/09/2018 Michael Gough stars as the cruel patriarch of an affluent British family. He's particularly cruel to his daughter (Sharon Gurney), so she conspires with her mother to murder him. Things don't go too well. This fairly slow, atmospheric thriller is very clearly indebted to "Diabolique", but unfortunately has a needlessly convoluted climax that really dulls it's impact. Gough is, as always, terrific and it's worth watching for his performance alone. Not to be confused with "Crucible of Terror" which was released in the same year.

The two women plot to kill the politician so they can move on with their lives; unfortunately, after the deed is done they will find it hard to keep it covered up. "What the hell are you doing?" Viktors Ritelis, director of episodes from the television series Vendetta, The Expert, Home and Away, A Country Practice, and GP, delivers Crucible of Horror. The storyline for this picture is just average with few good horror elements. The acting is mediocre even for this genre. "I hope I'm not a bother." I came across this on Netflix a couple weeks ago and thought it would be an interesting movie to add to the queue. Overall, it was a below average addition to the genre with few redeeming sequences. I recommend skipping this. "Let's kill him." Grade: C- See more 09/16/2014 One of the finest Michael Gough movies. See more Read all reviews
