paranoiac (1963)

"I saw Tony"
Tony Ashby a 15 year old boy seemingly commits suicide, jumping to his death into the sea, but his body is never found. Fast forward eight years and he reappears, or rather someone calling himself Tony arrives. Some of the family are hostile, whilst Simon (Oliver Reed) seems to be more open minded, but is obviously still troubled by events eight years previously. Is this man really Tony, and is Simon trying to send his sister Eleanor (Janette Scott) mad so he can inherit the family fortune?

A psychological thriller from the house of Hammer, that develops slowly into a sophisticated shocker, with many a twist and Reed doing his usual evil psycho act.
