Director: Melanie Read
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Isolated woman (she's studying penguins) is stalked and terrorised by an unknown presence. Reminiscent of all those variations on Les Diaboliques that Hammer produced in the '60s, this mildly diverting chiller is notable for its derisory (to slasher fans) body count, its unfashionably mature heroine and for the disclosure of the culprit's preposterous motivation.Author: BBa
