Something Creeping in the Dark (1971)


Joseph Green Pictures
Directed by Mario Colucci
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
(DVD, Video Dimensions)

A couple of police officers after escaped convict Farley Granger are forced to take refuge from a storm in a nearby mansion. In addition to their prisoner, they take along some stranded motorists. The mansion is inhabited by the usual butler and caretaker, but the owner only appears during a seance. Her ghostly presence, seen only in point-of-view camerawork, brings out the worst in everyone. The bickering married couple resorts to murder and an innocent doctor's assistant seduces her boss. Meanwhile, Granger escapes and becomes the number one suspect. Weak variation of the standard Ten Little Indians eventually succumbs to all of its tropes, although the atmosphere does help, as does the presence of Mia Genberg as the seductress assistant.
