This is one of my favourite from Freddie Francis' films. I was shocked by the ending when I discovered this movie thirty years ago. Shocked. It is an Amicus Company film, not Hammer, but don't worry, the quality is here. Directing, screenwriting, acting, everything is flawless. Freddie Francis was really a true master, at the same scale as Terence Fisher or John Gilling. This is not the more horror oriented film of this sixties period, but the atmosphere and production design, visual care are so flaming on screen, enchanting your eyes. A reall must see from the British psycho horror film history.
Or when kitchen sink fashion meets horror genre. This is also a very strange story revealed by this too short and rare British TV show. Maybe we'll learn in this story that it is not always fun to be the wife of a writer, who uses his type writer all day long, locked in in his room. This can be the cause of damaging situations for both husband and wife. It is very simple, as you can see, so simple that no one seemed to have thought about it earlier. It should be shown to every couple in which the husband or the wife is a writer. But it is not the majority of the population to be in this case. So shame !!!!
I did not expect watching such a story in this almost totally forgotten and lost British Tv show from the early seventies. The plot is not big enough to fill up a subway ticket but very interesting, talkative but never boring, because you always wonder what does that mean, where does this drive to? This is precisely the purpose of those twenty six minutes. No crime, no mystery, but some kind of suspense. This could be a very real story, inspired from actual events. The other episodes of this TV show, very short Tv show, only seven episodes, that I saw were not on the same scheme but still very unusual and surprising.
