When John Haloran dies of a heart attack while boating out on the lake, his scheming young wife Louise throws the body overboard and later tells the family that he has left on urgent business. She pretends that John is still alive as she attempts to get herself back into her wealthy mother-in-law’s will.
The Halorans hold a morbid ritual every year at their ancestral home in Ireland in memory of the youngest daughter Kathleen, who drowned in a pond on the estate seven years earlier. This year, greedy Louise pays a surprise visit to Castle Haloran but an axe-wielding murderer stalking the family puts paid to her plans.
This film marked the mainstream directorial debut of Francis Ford Coppola, who also wrote its rather confusing screenplay.
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Cast: William Campbell as Richard Haloran, Luana Anders as Louise Haloran, Patrick Magee as Dr. Justin Caleb
