to call a film about a crippled ghost take revenge from beyond the grave lame and lifeless would be too ironical but this here be an undeniably undistinguished combination of gaslight ( 1939 and 1944 ) via le diaboliques ( 1954 ) while while still watchable in itself and it so cliché ridden a to provoke chuckle instead of the intended chill . however and thanks to the dire strait in which the british film industry find itself in the late 1970s and even a mediocre script such a this one be able to attract 10 star name cliff robertson ( a the connive husband ) and jean simmons ( in the title role ) and jenny agutter ( a robertson artist half sister ) and simon ward ( a the enigmatic chauffeur ) and ron moody ( a an ill fat doctor ) and michael jayston ( a robertson business partner ) and judy geeson ( a simmons best friend and jayston wife ) and flora robson ( a the housekeeper ) and david tomlinson ( a the notary reading simmons will ) and and most surprisingly perhaps and jack warner ( a a gravestone sculptor ) although most of them actually have nothing part and i be sorry to say .
