This Hammer offering is a psychological thriller low on sex and gore and high on convoluted plot but an excellent cast keep it going.
Peggy a young woman with a psychiatric past accompanies her new husband Robert ( Ralph Bates ) to his new job at a boarding school after an unnerving attack by a prowler with a prosthetic arm. She discovers that his head ( Peter Cushing ) has one and also a younger unfriendly wife Molly. The school is also eerily clean and tidy. All this does nothing to help her mental state.
Judy Geeson ( as Peggy )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
This one is probably the best film role of Judy's career.
Joan Collins ( as Molly )
Sex : Molly is having an affair with Robert
Death : Molly is shot by Robert in mistake for Michael
The former fifties starlet was languishing in horror films at this point before The Stud revitalised her career. She is now 84.
