This is a much-maligned film because of its denouement, but up to that point, it's interesting, well-acted, eerie, and with fine set design. Veronica Hurst is captivating and genteel, sort of a chic British Marilyn Monroe, still in love with Richard Carlson, who is hiding a family secret in his forbidding castle; there are even bats in the belfry! It moves leisurely until the final extraordinary set-piece, when Hurst and her aunt (Katherine Emery, also the narrator), sneak out of the castle in the night to venture into the maze and find what they're looking for in its center. There's nothing scarier (or claustrophobic) than not finding your way out of a 10-foot high maze of hedges. Naturally, the two women get separated, setting the stage for engrossing suspense with horrific music. The final result is mildly disappointing really, since Carlson's epilogue at the end makes some sense to all the goings-on, even provoking sympathy. It is commerciall free and the quality is the best you will find of this very rare film. The pictures are actual screen captures from the DVD. Sold on 1 DVD-R Disc in a slim DVD case with basic but nice artwork for the case.
