| | Movie Haiku: | Eisenhower-era haunted house movie in which the monsters are bankers, milkmen, priests & policemen, while the damsel-in-distress is a tenacious Irish Catholic housewife. Moore gives a performance of incredible depth & nuance: smiling on the outside; screaming on the inside. When Richard said later he’d felt claustrophobic, Jan replied: D’uh!!! |
