7/10
Above Average and With a Bit of a Twist
22 November 2023
This was a pretty good movie, and I'm sorry Joey Heatherton didn't make more films, as she showed a lot of promise. This was the kind of movie where it's so easy to overact and go in for the melodrama, and she never lapsed into that.

Troy Donahue was his usual appealing self, with his understated, lowkey style, and I think it fit well in this story. (A friend of mine used to joke about anyone without a personality having gone to the "Troy Donahue School of Acting", but his style still brought him success!)

There are other familiar faces: Jeanette Nolan, Barry Sullivan, and anyone who's a fan of soap operas will recognize a young John McCook!

The movie combines suspense, the supernatural, dark family history, romance and the lure of the "bad boy", while the "nice guy" finishes last. Entertaining all the way!
