Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 24, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Sicko cult horror movie, that comes with a twist ending. Rated: B- May 12, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D Lost any effect it once had. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is incredibly creepy. It's way scarier than you think. Zsa Zsa Gabor is really good in this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 48% I'm a fan of Don Ameche, but this film was just too damn dull, until the last ten minutes. Twist. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.
