About 10 years ago a friend and her twin daughters and I viewed this film as the first of our Friday Night Fright films. It was an excellent way to introduce the 13 year old girls to "horror" films, as there's not a lot of graphic gore - a little to make it exciting, but not a lot to make us all sick! The performances of Bette Davis and Olivia DeHavilland are superb - and excellent examples of the acting requirements for psychological suspense.
Bette Davis playing a "teen" in the flashback sequences is a bit much, but overall, this is one of my most favourite "horror" flicks of all time! And the 13 year olds loved it as well, despite the fact it's in black & white!
