Heather Sears and Patrick Troughton star in this gothic, British chiller! Sir Richard (John Turner) returns to his manor with a new bride - only to discover that a man matching his description has been slaying beautiful young women in the area; and his first wife’s ghost appears on the lawn and accuses Sir Richard of her murder. (Odeon)

The Black Torment isn't a particularly innovative film; it simply rode the wave that was happening at the time. It must be acknowledged, though, that the setting works fairly well, and there are scenes where tension can be felt. Some of the characters, especially the mute old man, are quite good and help the atmosphere. But for me, the ending was slightly mishandled, and I felt that this deserved a somewhat better and more impactful resolution.
