the cat and the canary (1978)


"I don't want to be remembered forever."
The heirs to a substantial inheritance gather at the family seat for the reading of the will. But soon they have more pressing things on their minds, when they find out that a maniac killer is on the loose in the area.
Another version of this 1922 stage play, this time starring Honor Blackman, Olivia Hussey, and Edward Fox. It thankfully plays to the strengths of the story, giving us an old style thriller, all be it one with few chills.
