Die! Die! My Darling!

Very well made but does not deliver any scares. However, the cast, the script and the directing were Hammer at its best.

A woman goes to visit her dead fiancée's mother, only to find out she's a religious fanatic in this suspenseful horror with a grand last performance by Tallulah Bankhead.

Fanatismo Macabro estreava há 55 anos no Reino Unido. Não tô entendendo essas notas baixas aqui, isso aqui vai absolutamente no ponto do fanatismo religioso oriundo de desejo reprimido, é um calvário conviver com essas pessoas e o filme consegue condensar num pesadelo tudo o que o brasileiro tem vivido nos últimos anos refém do neopentecostalismo em busca de se tornar uma teocracia cristã. Horripilante. Box Obras-primas do Cinema Coleção Estúdio Hammer Volume 1.

Much better than you might think. Tallulah was dying when she made this, and she pulls out all the stops.

Charming little thriller, lacking in the departments of subtlely, pace and plotting but made more than watchable by an impish, irreverrant anti-religious stance and a superbly cast Bankhead in raving lunatic mode, who looks like she's one snide comment away from chomping down on your hand and eating your fucking arm.

Tallulah joins the then-popular parade of moviedom's mad matrons, launched by _Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?_, in a performance whose strength is not restraint. Sutherland is her geeky Igor-like henchhunchback; Powers plays their victim.

Underrated, taut psychological thriller.
