Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

One of the great psychological horror thrillers of all time. Scared me as a tween and still scares me now as an old fart. Great performances. Agnes Moorehead better than Bette Davis or De Havilland even though all are great.

I saw this movie in 1965 at a Saturday matinee as a 3rd grader , and it scared the bee geebees out of me then . I still so dearly love this movie , and now it always makes me cry at the end. And even now just thinking about it. One of the greatest movies of all time , without a doubt.

Bette Davis is Charlotte, who was accused of killing her husband when they got married. She's rotting in her big rotting mansion when they come to take it from her. Update the effects and you have a great thriller.

Good movie, although perhaps not as good as “Baby Jane” (1962).
