And Now the Screaming Starts!
In the late 18th century, two newlyweds move into the stately mansion of the Fengriffen family. The young bride is victim of terrifying visions and apparitions, threatening her very sanity. A London psychiatrist comes to her help and uncovers the terrible secret that haunts the estate.
Why it matters
A late-period Gothic chiller that fuses haunted house dread with a creeping family curse, culminating in a classic Peter Cushing mind-bender.
- Starts slow with period detail and atmosphere but truly ignites when Cushing arrives to unravel the madness
- A rare Amicus production that leans into supernatural and psychological horror over anthology format
- Spectral imagery and the severed hand evoke Hammer’s shadow while delivering a unique, fog-drenched rural malaise
- Ideal for fans of restrained ‘70s hauntings and gothic tales where the terror is as much about legacy as ghosts
