...aka: Corpse, The...aka: Velvet House, The
Directed by:
Viktors Ritelis
A passive artist housewife (Yvonne Mitchell) and her nubile, sheltered teen daughter (Sharon Gurney) decide they’ve suffered enough at the hands of controlling, abusive husband/dad Michael Gough. They devise an elaborate scheme to get rid of him and think they do, but the corpse doesn’t seem to stay put for long. Nothing really original or special; this owes quite a bit to the French classic LES DIABOLIQUES, but Gough (whose real-life son Simon Gough plays same here) is impressively despicable and there are a few good suspense/horror sequences.
Score: 5 out of 10
