The Cat and the Canary

(1978)Directed by Radley Metzger98 min · PGHorror, Comedy, Mystery
“For God's Sake, Stay in Your Rooms and Lock the Doors!”

A group of potential heirs, among them Susan Sillsby (Honor Blackman) and Paul Jones (Michael Callan), gather in a forbidding old mansion to watch the filmed reading of a dead man's will. Soon they learn that a flesh-rending maniac may be loose in the house, and the fortune is the least of their concerns. Radley Metzger stages it like a play in a cramped, shadowed set, keeping the cast close.
