and now the screaming starts (1973)

aka Bride of Fengriffen. Fengriffen. I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream.
18th Century England and Catherine (Stephanie Beacham) marries Charles Fengriffen (Ian Ogilvy) and moves into his country estate. From day one she is tormented by visions and a severed hand. Things that seem to revolve around Silas the woodsman and her husband's grandfather. As she seems to descend into madness Dr Pope (Peter Cushing) arrives and is determined to unravel the mystery before it is too late.
This film has it's moments, but for me it unwinds at too slow a pace, and worse, is too well lit at times, which unfortunately dispells any chance of suspence in a number of scenes. So if you come across it then have a watch, just don't go out of your way.
