Watch And Now the Screaming Starts! For Free

You won't be disappointed!

A Masterpiece!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The film is based on the novel Fengriffen by David Case. I liked all of the film (I never read the novel). I just wish it was a pure ghost story and the the zombified crawling hand was left out of it - otherwise a good (zombie ghost hand) ghost story.I would say in a roundabout way, this film is sorta The Crawling Hand (1963), meets Rosemary's Baby (1968) meets any good ghost story lol. I would have left the idea of a creeping hand to the 1963 film The Crawling Hand. BUT towards the end of the film I can understand why it is in the film - it is sorta important to the film but really did not have to be a part of it.To me, the most horrifying thing that happens in this film is that two innocent women (both virgins) are raped and both bore a child by their rapist. This is creepier than any zombie hand or ghost.I LOVE the sets, costuming, casting, and overall look and general atmosphere of the film... very beautifully created.My only real beef is that zombified ghost hand... I can tolerate it because the rest of the film is pretty good.8/10

Hallelujah for 1970's horror movies! Otherwise we would have very little to laugh about in life. The acting was over done and the effects were terrible, but then again, would we have 70s horror movies any other way?Nope!There were a few unbelievable elements to the film. Like the fact that although Dr Pope is in the Room while the family doctor is killed, he doesn't seem to see how or by whom the doctor is killed. There was also a fair amount of Damsel-in-Distress style fainting and some of the most ridiculous hats I have ever witnessed in a period film. And of course there was that horror movie classic of having it rain/thunder during the climax of the film. Seriously, have you guys ever noticed how many horror films do that? But seriously now, other then the slightly overacting, and the terrible rubber hand which you can all witness in the trailer, this was a fairly enjoyable film. A little predictable maybe but most horror movies follow the same sort of basic menu; Beautiful girl, evil curse, add a few ghosts, some stage screams and some eerie wind effects and stir well, and POOF! You have a scary movie. But despite this we still quite enjoyed it as we are huge scary movie fans, regardless of what decade they come from.

This takes places in 1795 England. Young Catherine (Stephanie Beacham) marries Charles Fengiffen (Ian Ogilvy) and moves to live with him at his remote ancestral estate. She's attacked by a spirit on her wedding night, starts seeing an eyeless grinning man and a disembodied hand crawling around. Is she going mad or is there some family curse? Sounds good but this turns out to be a dreary, slow-moving horror movie. The drama drags along and seems longer than it's 90 minutes. It's also horribly edited with scenes ending just when they're starting to get interesting. Ogilvy and Beacham are pretty bad but the script does them no favors. Even old pros like Herbert Lom, Peter Cushing and Patrick Magee seem bored in supporting roles. However this does have a few things going for it. There's some incredibly beautiful art direction and nice cinematography. Also the ending does work. Worth a look for horror fans. I give it a 5.

This movie screamed me to death when I was sixteen hiding under the covers, eating butter popcorn. I saw this not too long ago on AMC.It is about a recent married couple moving into a huge mansion-castle, in late 1700s in England. The Bride is haunted by a painting of her husband's grandfather's portrait. She is frighteningly drawn to it. She sees a floating severe hand coming out of the portrait. Her husband at first thinks it is nerves and brings a doctor to come to her side. The doctor wants him to tell her the truth of a dark family secret, her husband refuses insist that it is fairly tale. The doctor tells him, "If you don't I will." Then suddenly he is afraid and does not.What Dark Family Secret is her husband hiding? Why won't he tell her the truth? Why is portrait of his grandfather haunts her so?
