Superior Hammer non-horror thriller.

Apesar da obviedade da primeira parte da trama, a segunda metade traz boas reviravoltas e consegue surpreender o espectador (mesmo que o roteiro seja claramente inspirado em As Diab�licas).

Another Hammer Collection Film. This movie is as good as any Hitchcock feature. About a young girl whose mother killed her fatter because she was insane from dreams she was having, now the daughter is having the same dreams and seeing people, or is someone driving her deeper into insanity. A twisted suspense film with

An okay thriller with a nice little twist or two. About halfway through, the main character "Janet" delivers quite a shock that changes the direction of the movie entirely. As the Baxter and Grace relationship falls apart quickly, it created some very nice tension. I thought the ending was a bit of a stretch, but as a tale of revenge it works.
