A Name for Evil (1973)


Cinerama Releasing
Directed by Bernard Girard
My rating: BOMB
IMDb Wikipedia
(Rarefilmm) 

Robert Culp walks out of his architecture job and moves into a dilapidated house on a lake with his wife, Samantha Eggar. They are having marital problems and she tries to talk him out of the venture. He prevails and hires some locals to start fixing up the place. However, he soon starts to hear voices telling him to leave, and worse yet thinks his wife is having an affair, although she denies everything. One night he sees a white horse and rides off into the woods on it, ending up at church/hippie commune. Soon everyone is taking their clothes off and he ends up making love to a pretty young girl. He returns home, not sure it really happened, but goes off the next night and finds the girl again for more naked shenanigans in the woods. His wife confronts him at home, but he freaks out (in slow motion), not sure what is real and what is only in his mind. Dreadful flick in which we see too much (way too much) of Culp and not enough of Eggar.
