This relatively suspenseful thriller makes the mistake of needing to throw one last twist into the mix. When it's genuinely supernatural, it's at its spookiest. The film actually opens itself up to plot holes by making our villains strictly human ones.
While James Caan and Katharine Ross are pitting themselves against a ghost and their intuitive house guest, a very eerie Simone Signoret, this is a roller coaster. Watching an upper class couple turn into calculating, cold-blooded killers is at once uncomfortable and exhilarating. Add to the mix director Harrington's affection for pop art and you've got one very unique chiller.
