All Critics (13) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (2) | DVD (4)
If one says that the best things about Séance on a Wet Afternoon are the performances of Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough and Bryan Forbes' script, this is not to decry Forbes' direction. In fact he does an excellent job.
Creepy but engrossing Hitchcock-like suspense story.
Highly effective psychological thriller, with a stunning star turn from Kim Stanley.
Kim Stanley received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for playing a disturbed medium who conspires a kidnap in Bryan Forbes' erie and suspensuful tale.
Riveting thriller about a kidnapping that goes wrong
The undertakings are as spooky as the title; Kim Hunter shines; and the theme song haunts your mind.

A powerhouse, a haunted house, of a psychological thriller as a curious London couple plan and execute the kidnapping of a wealthy family's daughter. Stanley and Attenborough deliver pitch perfect performances as the couple with an ugly past.

decent mid-60's suspense thriller starring richard attenborough, who kidnaps a child to please his delusional wife, played by kim stanley. primarily a stage actress, stanley made only a handful of films and this is worth seeing for the fine performances.
