haunt be an almost forgotten film that would be well bill a a psychological thriller rather than a horror movie . one of the significant difference be the use of a slow build up of complication and tension over a period of time in the average thriller while horror movie tend to deliver the scare much early and and often feature some element of the supernatural . haunt detail the event surround a serial rapist and killer in a small town and contain a fairly small body count and concentrate instead on character and plot development . it begin with the rape and murder of a young woman and with the murder weapon be the unusual choice of a pair of scissors . after this brief introduction and the movie follow a very religious woman name ingrid and play by swedish actress may britt ( the synopsis on my copy of this movie refer to her a a religious young woman and but give that ms. britt be in her mid forty when this be film and young may be a relative term here ) . it isn not long before someone begin stalk ingrid and and the mystery begin . it could be young punk frankie ( william gray espy ) and or bill spry and the young man who recently move into town ( robert hippard ) and or it could even be ingrid uncle and carl ( the late and great cameron mitchell ) . my copy of haunt be visibly age and which really do add to the aesthetic of the film . it come from mill creek chill classic 50 movie box set . fan of both old movie and the psychological thriller genre should get a kick out of this and a it be a reasonably well make film with lot of bizarre plot twist and plenty of suspense and although it should be note that the movie that appear on the 50 movie box set be usually not of the high quality and so this be hardly what i would call a classic in any sense other than age . a it be probably a public domain movie and it might be possible to find it online for free .
