This full length Amicus feature is a competent enough re-arrangement of familiar tropes with a good cast but it never really catches fire and Ian Ogilvy's character doesn't make sense.
Catherine Fengriffen is a newly-wed moving in to the ancestral home of her husband Charles ( Ogilvy ). She is soon disturbed by visions of a severed hand and the presence of a sinister woodsman with a prominent birthmark , Silas ( Geoffrey Whitehead ) on the estate. Anyone about to let her into the family secrets is promptly murdered which never seems to bother Charles who calls in a psychiatrist ( Peter Cushing ) instead.
Stephanie Beacham ( as Catherine )
Sex : Awesome cleavage
Death : Survives
Though not top billed, Stephanie has the most screen time in this one.
Janet Key ( as Bridget )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Janet's back to playing a maid in this one.
Sally Harrison ( as Sarah )
Sex : Sarah is raped by Charles' grandfather
Death : Presumed from natural causes
Sally was a bit part actress active in the seventies. She has made sporadic appearances since then.
