| | Still One of My Favorite Horror Flick's! | Debrinconcita 08/25/2009 | | The doctor and his wife were in some kind of accident, where they got burned up. His wife died afterward's and he blame's the doctor in charge at the hospital, and all the staff for her death. When he finally get's well enough after the accident, he stalks all of them and makes them die, because she died. He does give them chance's to save themselves. It has a very interesting story line. One of Vincent Price's best movies, I thought anyway! |
