A real psycho thriller!, 13 July 2002
Author: tmichaelny@aol.com from United States

I first saw this movie years ago and was at the edge of my seat. Each time I watch it, I still get a little anxious...it's THAT good!

It is a true psycho thriller! Diana Rigg gives an outstanding performance as she slowly allows you to see her "real" character. The other members of the cast give equally fine performances. I have only seen this movie on PBS stations in the USA. I have recommended this movie to many people and everyone agrees that it's a first rate thriller.
