Films rife with taboos, power struggles, narratives questioning psychosis, ritual murders and deviance.ĭirected by William Frake r (cinematographer on Rosemary’s Baby ’68, Bullitt ’68 uncredited on Incubus ’66 for Roger Corman, The Day of The Dolphin ’73, Looking for Mr Goodbar ’77)Ī Reflection of Fear was hacked to pieces in order to receive a PG rating for Columbia Pictures. The House That Screamed, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, Silent Night, Bloody Night, Lemora, Blood and Lace, What’s The Matter With Helen, so many, too many to mention. The 70s were so good for giving us these kinds of surreal, sinisterly captivating and unsettling themes. One with an eerie, queasy mood amidst the ornate set design and restrained performances. Perhaps provocative in a way that might turn many away as being a revolting little psychodrama. Though there are details and subject matter that most will consider too perverse, it’s still a potent yet slightly murky thriller. I think this film is perhaps as uniquely disturbing as it is underrated & thoughtfully done. If a movie lingers… if it stays with you for hours… days, then it has done something right. Alas… I do not have a good copy of the film. Please forgive the quality of some of my screen capturs.
