- Quotes
[closing narration]
Sheila Wayne: We left the old house: silent and foreboding, a place of horror and death. It was truly haunted. No one would ever live there again. It was a house of madness.
- Alternate versionsThe original release had a prologue and epilogue by Gerald Mohr explaining the "Psycho-Rama" subliminal image gimmick. These are lacking in the so-called "uncut" Rhino Video version; also, Rhino has added their own subliminal message, "Rent Rhino Videos every day" (3 times in the 66th minute of their version).

Plot Twists Kept It Interesting
This one has some historical value do to the Psycho-Rama, all that means is it's the first movie ever that tries to add subliminal messages and images to the film. It's a bit comical to watch, at times almost distracting but the movie is good nevertheless.
This one has a two or three plot twists that will keep it from getting dull - pretty interesting story. The ending is not exactly what one would expect from a film like this... they didn't use the standard ending in a way that I expected anyway.
Sheila Wayne and Philip Tierney have just gotten married in Switzerland where she had been living for most all of her life. She's been seeing a psychiatrist while there about her bizarre nightmares but her new husband wants to take her to Florida so they go. Driving some back roads they come to a house, she screams in terror because that is the house in her nightmares. Philip insists they go inside and they meet up with a strange caretaker of the old house and then Philip insists to the caretaker they will take the place (rent it). And then our bizarre story begins.
I will say that Sheila is weird but Philip is even weirder even though he's the one that seems sorta normal yet very odd from the beginning.
I would say this film is worth watching if you like the older mystery films. Again, plenty of twists that are a bit unexpected.
8/10
