hilarious and unbelievable, 25 August 2000
6/10
Author: troy-32 from Chicago, Illinois

This movie is one glorious trespass after another. Lana Turner apparently doesn't seem to realize that her glamour was gone, gone. She takes all of her lines and direction very seriously, even when she has to defend her fat tabby of murder and "meow like a pussycat" and lap milk up from a bowl and have ominous-sounding conversations with Sheba, her pet. I think "Persecution" would have been worthless if someone as humorless as Lana had not been the star. If you're looking for a scary movie, this is slow-going... Otherwise, you can derive a lot of mean fun from it. All at pudgy Lana's expense!!!
