The Shuttered Room (1966)

- written November 2008

Summary: Suzanna and Mike are on their way to Suzanna’s birth home to see what’s happened all these years later. It’s hers now and she wants to see what’s become of it. But the locals don’t welcome her and in fact do all they can to get her to go away. But neither her or her husband can be scared off this easily, that is until they discover what’s in the attic!           Overall: The film is decent and only worth the watching because of Oliver Reed’s presence. He does a masterful job in what’s a fairly bland, useless film. Gig Young does a tremendous job as our “hero” however and the 2 of them steal the show. Film is fairly predictable in terms of the twist but for the most part the middle of the film is just so odd in where everyone goes and stops and changes direction and the bullies. It was sorta just weird and disjointed. But it’s worth it for the 2 acting jobs!           Comparison: People under the Stairs meets Rosemary’s Baby
