When I saw this movie it caused deja-vu, and not only because I've visited Oakley Court, where all the exteriors were shot. The wooden balcony made me think, "There's going to be a disembodied hand crawling along the floor in a minute," and then there was! Another childhood horror movie memory identified!
This is a pretty good film, although the theme of ghostly rape-revenge may not appeal to some. Peter Cushing is excellent as usual, as is Ian Ogilvy as the doomed bridegroom. His final scene when he takes his revenge on the corpse of his brutal ancestor is really quite disturbing!
