Symptoms aka The blood virgin (1974)

Helen (Angela Pleasence) invites her friend Anne (Lorna Heilbron) to stay in her desolate forest mansion but everything isnt quite what it seems to be. Why was she really invited? What deadly secrets lurk within those old walls? Will she live long enough to find out?


José Ramón Larraz delivers an psycho(logical) story about love, lies, murder  and deceit .  Beatiful british countryside scenery with just the right touch of grittyness and old dark house feel, and of course fullblown dementia.To be honest, nothing much happens until the end but Angela "Bloodvirgin" Pleasence (Daughter of  Donald Pleasence) keeps the movie going just fine until its bloodsoaked finale.
