have watch this film strictly on the strength of reviewer rating i be most pleasantly surprise . although clearly low budget and it bear the sign of clever ingenuity . for example and when julia wake in the strange house and look out the window i find myself think that her sense of isolation would be enhance with an exterior shot focus on her face and then move backwards to include the house and it isolated location . and lo and behold . the next scene be exactly that last shot of the house stand lonely on the cliff at the water edge . there be other example of how a clever director can elevate his film to the level of a very enjoyable thriller . savvy viewer will surely spot them but should rest assure they will not be disappoint . a to the performance and george macready be his usual creepy self and barely maintain his composure while suggest a capacity for unadulterated violence . nina foch be surprisingly good a the no nonsense work girl who not about to submit without a fight . but dame may witty and oh boy and she even have me doubt my own eye and believe she could get away with her evil scheme . this a real diamond in the rough and not to be miss .
