This has a great premise, if a little indebted to Hitchock's Psycho, but after a brilliant opening, during which you hardly dare breath and some startling mannequin imagery, this slows to a snail pace before it eventually perks up for a bravura ending. There is a decent idea here and plenty of spooking props but the writing is lazy and whilst one sequence of someone from the stranded car 'going to see what's in the house', is fine, we really shouldn't have to endure all repeat the same trip, one after the other, so very similarly. This is worth seeing for the beginning and a strange scene where Chuck Connors, as the Tony Perkins type, chats to the three young ladies as they tread water in his idyllic woodland pool.
