Paranoiac (1963)

Surprising good old horror film, in fact after Peeping Tom it might well be the best of the genera's B-school to come out of the early 60's. The plot is kind of complex, it involves a wealthy English family and the possible return of a supposedly dead son. There are twists on twists, and while at first the movie seemed distressingly on the bland and slow side, it turned out in its own largely low key way to be an exquisitely wrought piece of family psychosis. I recommend. Grade: B
