Picture Mommy Dead

1966 · 1h 22m · Horror, Thriller

Skip it. This 1961 B-movie thriller has all the ingredients of camp—a troubled heiress, a scheming stepmother, a missing diamond—but lacks the style or substance to make it genuinely creepy or entertaining. Unless you're deep in a classic horror kick or hunting for obscure cult fodder, there are better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Susan Shelley is released from an asylum where she's been confined to after the shock suffered over the fiery death of her mother. Her father has a new wife, who has only married him for the money left to him by his dead wife. Susan is still haunted by her mother's memory, and her step-mother is conspiring with her lover to get the troubled girl to lead them to her mother's missing diamond necklace.

Director: Bert I. Gordon
