This one is more psychological thriller than horror ; its re-title in the US Crucible of Horror is nonsensical. Existing prints are not very good quality but its's still worth a glance for the performances.
Michael Gough plays Walter Eastwood the tyrannical and sadistic middle class family man who enslaves his wife Edith ( Yvonne Mitchell ) , physically abuses his daughter Jane and whose son Rupert ( Simon Gough, Michael's real-life son ) is becoming a chip off the old block. When he goes away for a weekend's shooting the women decide to murder him but things are not as they seem.
Sharon Gurney ( as Jane )
Sex : Jane goes for a swim in the nude. There are brief glimpses of bum and breasts
Death : Survives
This was 19 year old Sharon's second film after a string of good TV parts. She married her co-star Simon Gough in 1970 and a few years later abandoned her promising career to raise a family in Norfolk . She is now 67.
