Bette Davis excels in this, giving a realistic but chilling performance that gives focus to this effective chiller. Added to this is the effective supporting cast and a script by Jimmy Sangster that prevents you from truly knowing the whole truth, as the parents quickly crack under the pressure.

taste of fear (1961)
aka Scream Of Fear.Penny (Susan Strasberg) is a young woman paralysed following an accident. She returns home to recuperate, after many years away. In doing so she gets to meet her fathers second wife (Ann Todd) for the first time. Unfortunately her father has been called away on business, but that does not stop her seeing him, or rather seeing visions of his dead body! Is Penny having hallucinations or is someone trying to drive her insane?
A psychological thriller where no one is who they seem. With the obligatory twist in the tale, in this often overlooked and entertaining shocker. Also includes Christopher Lee popping up as the family doctor.

blood from the mummys tomb (1971)
This is more of a suspense thriller, rather then a horror, that unfortunately lacks a real sense of suspense. But it still manages to entertain, possibly due to Valerie's lack of clothing!
