It boasts a fine acting job by Terry O'Quinn, particularly the scenes in which he gets hopping scared toward the beginning in his confrontations with the transient-ghost. That is one scary ghost--her lurking around in the shadows is certainly the high point of the film. Due to the unsubtle acting job of Blair Parker, for once, a film deserves the term "erotic thriller". Let's see--a writer suffering from writer's block wishes to be alone so that he can write and is pulled by lingering ghosts into a past with which he has some mystic connection--where have we seen that before? Nonetheless, O'Quinn manages to pull this one off mainly by remaining very much the same man through the story, though increasingly intrigued with and finally entrapped by the beautiful, all too tangible, lingering spirit Evelyn. The quandary of how you escape something that can be anywhere--or kill something that is already dead--is as always fascinating. The betrayal uncovered toward the end has a nice side to it--though it isn't particularly well developed. Excellent production values, nice, moody music--for once an effective voice over to start things off.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: As Y moves into a Victorian number to do some writing, anyone can see the joint's haunted. Even the realtor wonders that Y can live here alone. He dreams about "Evelyn, whispering that she should wake up and come back...but there's also a shot, and blood pouring down white walls: excellent photography. He awakens and is sure there's someone in bed with him for a moment--perhaps it was still the dream. Bob has gotten Barbara's mail, and she arrives from a jogging session in a fetching halter top. What does she see but his picture in the paper associated with a "Midas touch". She shows up for the date with bells on. After the date, Bob turns up in a sleazy nightclub where Carla gives a rendition of "Don't forget" and approaches by him. Later she's locked in the house and tries to get away. Someone comes from the shadows who she takes to be a roommate--and is spooked enough to fall out the window. She's badly injured in the fall, but she points out his "roommate"--an old woman with empty looking eyes. After a while in cuffs, Carla revives enough to admit she wasn't cuffed, but Bob remains puzzled by the old woman. His writer's block eventually sends him into a frenzy, but he's left alone in the house. Singing drunkenly in the bath seems to awaken the roommate. Bob hears "William" whispered by someone and hurries out bottle in hand to confront the intruder. He chases her to the basement, and decides a psychotic woman is living in his basement. Someone says "help me, let me out". Look though he might, he can't find anyone and runs spooked across the street. He tells X that his house is haunted and wants to sleep with her. She decides that this is too forward and declines. He tries to sleep in the car, but a transient is in his back seat. The transient admits he has slept in the house when no one was there, and he too heard noises. When he sees her at the door, he goes back to check out the wall. He says "Evelyn?" and she crawls toward him--soon a shovel appears, and it's clear that he's got digging to do. Following the direction of a dream he had had in the car, he digs at a wall, and uncovers a chest. There he finds the century old remains of a woman, and there with the woman is an old pistol. He goes next door to Barbara with the revolver, and shows her the remains. They go to bury the body in a decent grave, as tradition says you do with restless spirits. As they are doing so, a diary falls out, and Bob takes it out before they bury the body. However, they hear the spirit groan and Bob senses that the spirit is being buried alive. Barbara, however, brings him to his senses and they drive home. When Bob gets home, he writes "The Lady of the House". He's almost off and running, when Barbara calls. A wind blows over the grave, and it is evident that we haven't seen the last of Evelyn. Bob reads of Evelyn in 1891. Dylan apparently was a two timer. The piano salesman drove out her troubles with Dylan...but then the diary ends, leaving Bob to wonder. Bob awakens to the sound of someone in the bathroom. However, he opens the door to find it empty, though the tub is full and rather dirty. Bob sits down the next day to play the Schubert piece he had found in the diary. Rather than Evelyn's spirit, a black kitten shows up. That night, Bob dreams of the murder and almost runs off when he hears piano music, and there is Evelyn. When Bob tells her that he's not William and that he's been dead for a long time she gets frightened and disappears--for a while. Bob goes to visit the piano store mentioned in the diary. He finds it's still there, though there seems to be no one there. He sees a picture of the founder--William Horace, the founder, and runs off when he sees it's his twin. While Bob is out, Barbara shows up and sees Evelyn in the bathroom. When he goes to Barbara's house she's a bit miffed, but they rush over and find the kitten has been drowned. That night, staying with Barbara now, Bob hears the kitten crying, and sees Evelyn holding it in the yard below. He goes to her. She asks him to stay with her forever--the offer's too good not to have a catch.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
