The Black Torment (1964)
Director: Robert Hartford-Davis
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Occasionally effective ghost chiller, detailing an 18th century aristocrat's investigations into a series of hauntings that follow his first wife's suicide. The explanation, when it comes, its both rational and unsurprising, but the general mood of the piece carries it through despite atrocious direction.Author: GA
