terror (1978)


"I don't know anything about her. I only met her a week ago."
A 300 year old curse plagues the descendents of a witchburning. The last in the line is film director (John Nolan), who conveniently has made a gothic horror based on the tale. Following a cast and crew preview of the finished film one of the actresses (Carolyn Courage) starts acting weird, having being hypnotised. Then later another is brutally murdered...
Supposedly influenced by the rise of Giallo, this is competently made, (and pokes fun at 70's low budget exploitation along the way), but has none of the flair of that genre, just the electronic soundtrack and mysterious murders: The bedsit version of Susperia!
