Directed with little suspense by Bert I. Gordon and written by Robert Sherman, Picture Mommy Dead was panned when it was released in 1966, and I completely understand why. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 10/24/2020
2.5/4
Bert I. Gordon cast his own daughter Susan in the pivotal role -- think Sofia Coppola in her dad's The Godfather: Part III to get an idea of Susan's wretchedness, another cautionary tale of Hollywood nepotism. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 05/12/2012

Steve D 07/02/2023 Lost any effect it once had. See more 05/02/2020 This movie is incredibly creepy. It's way scarier than you think. Zsa Zsa Gabor is really good in this movie. See more 06/05/2012 48% I'm a fan of Don Ameche, but this film was just too damn dull, until the last ten minutes. Twist. See more 06/02/2012 I thought this was a really good movie, more of a psycho type thriller then a horror flick. There's a nice twist toward the end of the movie, but I'll leave it at that. The movie stars Zsa Zsa Gabor as Jessica Shelley and Susan Gordon as Susan Shelley. Sadly, Susan passed away 6 months ago due to Thyroid cancer (source: Wikipedia) at the age of 62. See more 04/05/2012 good old horror movie. this scared the hell out of my mom when she was a little girl in the 70's. this is a good creepy movie. but its downfall is that its a little slow & not extremely memorable.
