Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The Helen character suffers from a serious persecution complex with delusions. More than once she hallucinates being a murder victim. The final scene of dead Adelle dressed for a show (after Helen murders her) while Helen plays the piano might cause nightmares. Not for the squeamish.
