After a flight back home, Sam Hendrix returns with a doll he innocently acquired along the way. As it turns out, the doll is actually stuffed with heroin, and a group of criminals led by the ruthless Roat has followed Hendrix back to his place to retrieve it. When Hendrix leaves for business, the crooks make their move -- and find his blind wife, Susy, alone in the apartment. Soon, a life-threatening game begins between Susy and the thugs.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film builds dread methodically, layer by layer. Genre tools are used skillfully — no cheap jump scares, relying instead on genuine unease.

Worth watching for those tired of predictable horror. There's character and internal logic here. If you want quick adrenaline — better choose something else.

For those who want films that work with feeling rather than plot mechanics.

Director: Terence Young

Viewing atmosphere: A dark evening when the house is quiet. Headphones mandatory — the sound is half the film.
