Plot

A doctor and his wife move into an old house in an English village where he is to start a new job, but over the next few days his wife, who has second sight, begins to experience strange visions, in which she foresees a murder, and starts feeling frightened that her life is in danger.

Cast

Critical reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The Murrays' old dark house is real and depressing, not just another Gothic mansion, and there is a welcome lack of overall sensationalism. As a result the occasional shock effects, especially the murder vision, carry quite an impact, and Zena Walker is all the more convincing as the confused and prescient Ginny. The script tends to waste time on such conventional elements as Ginny's attractive French rival, and leaves a few loose ends dangling at the end, but Terry Bishop maintains the supernatural atmosphere quite well and the supporting performances, notably Annabel Maule's jargon-ridden psychiatrist, register."
