SYNOPSIS

Real-life husband and wife David Hemmings (Blowup, Deep Red) and Gayle Hunnicutt (Eye of the Cat, Fragment of Fear) star in this tense British shocker from director Kevin Billington (The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer).

After a tragic family accident, Claire (Hunnicutt) suffers a mental breakdown. In an effort to help her recovery, Robert (Hemmings), her husband, takes her to convalesce in a grand country house, but her already fragile sanity is soon threatened by ghostly apparitions and terrifying visions.

Long unseen, this impressive, superbly crafted chiller is presented in a brand new restoration from a 4K scan of the original separation masters by Powerhouse Films. Making its worldwide debut on Blu-ray, Voices is accompanied with a selection of newly produced extras and a comprehensive booklet.

I have this 1973 flick on VHS from the Mirisch label as NIGHTMARE. It contains a lot of conversation between the two main (nearly only) characters, but it still manages to generate some good suspense. The same twist was done again in another movie produced nearly 30 years later, which I won't reveal in case you've not seen this. (Mentioning the title would generate an immediate spoiler.)
