Description
Tallulah Bankhead plays the psychotic Mrs. Trefoile, a demented mother who terrorizes and imprisons her dead son's fiancee, Pat (Stefanie Powers), to avenge her son's tragic death, with the help of her bumbling gardener (Donald Sutherland). A domineering religious fanatic, Mrs. Trefoile grows obsessed with the spirit of her late son, who died several years earlier in an auto wreck. When her son's former lover pays an unexpected visit, Mrs. Trefoile kidnaps the beautiful young woman, holding her hostage in the basement to "cleanse" her soul so she can be reunited with her son in heaven. Trapped and tortured, Pat must fight for her life to escape. Newly remastered.
