Dark Places (1973)


Directed by Don Sharp
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Embassy Home Entertainment)

A man inherits a country mansion which supposedly has a large sum of money hidden behind its walls. He moves in but has competition from the locals who are also looking for the money. Joan Collins becomes his housekeeper then seduces him, to no avail. Christopher Lee is her brother and local doctor, but he can't find the money either. The sad background of the mansion is revealed in a series of flashbacks/dreams as the man is tormented by voices and slowly goes crazy. A few brutal murders, but otherwise a rather bland mystery with few scares.
