Scream of Fear aka Taste of Fear
In the midst of their Gothic heyday Hammer released Taste of Fear, a gorgeous looking black and white thriller that is essentially a "lets scare the nice lady to death" type film. Hammers version of Les Diaboliques, its less effective than the French classic but still very good. The black and white cinematography creates a haunting atmosphere which is helped by some decent jump moments.
The film stars Susan Strasberg as a woman who returns home from abroad and is haunted by the corpse of her father.
Thats it plot wise, anything else will spoil your enjoyment. Be warned if you decide to give it a go - Take nothing for granted.
Highly recommended.
