Tormented Reviews
The Ghost And Mr. Stewart...
Richard Carlson (creature from the black lagoon, it came from outer space) is Tom Stewart, jazz pianist and sophisticated international playboy. Tom lives on a small island in peace and harmony with the sea. He's about to get married to Meg (Lugene Sanders), when a former girlfriend named Vi (Juli Reding) shows up to confront him alone. This would be great except that they're standing at the top of a lighthouse at the time. NOT a good spot for a heated argument as it turns out! Vi falls to her death after a rickety rail gives way and Tom refuses to pull her to safety. Splat! Gurgle! Glub! Thus begins the haunting terror of TORMENTED! You see, Vi is so annoying that she simply must return from her watery grave in order to bother Tom some more. She is the most tedious ghost ever! Of course, this is a Bert I. Gordon production, so nothing is subtle or mysterious. Instead of an eerie psychological thriller, we get a movie full of crawling hands, floating heads, and ghostly footprints. Astonishingly, it all works rather well somehow. Still, I couldn't help but wonder how much better it would have been if the supernatural aspects had been left more to the imagination (sigh). If you liked HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, 13 GHOSTS, ETC., then this one fits right in. -Special credit for Susan Gordon, the cute little girl in the movie. She never made me roll my eyes or want to puke once! That's incredible!...
One of the better Bs
. As a true horror flick, you can definitely do worse than this. The acting ranges from average to bad (there's a big shock, right?), the special effects are pretty cheesy, the plot is fairly lame, the direction equally so, the screenplay fairly trite -- in other words, all the necessary ingredients for a great B-horror movie experience. And despite it all, there are a few moments here when you'll definitely feel the hairs at the back of your neck bristle. This is great for an evening of 1-2 equally bad/good flicks, some popcorn and maybe a beer or two. For this price, there's no way to go wrong.
