She Waits (1972)

Oh how I love made-for-TV movies so much!


SO GADDAM MUCH!


I'm not sure if it's the dramatic pauses built for commercial breaks, the peculiar (often poor) video quality, or just the passionate but charming ridiculousness of it all. Whatever it is, I’m here for ALL OF IT!


Let’s take a little dive into the spooky world of: 


She Waits



Here we have a recently remarried man bring his second wife home to meet Mother and see the family estate. But! There’s a deep secret buried within the walls of this home - a ghost guarding the mysterious death of the man’s first wife…


YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Hell Yeah!


That’s all you really need to know! Is the ghost of the first wife really haunting the house? Is Mother mad? Is the innocent and sweet new wife getting possessed? Was it MURDER?


Oh yeah, this is the good stuff. 


Folks this is a mighty decent film. The acting is engaging and well done, the plot is deliciously consuming, and this delightfully succinct film is perfect for anyone who enjoys spooky little drama stories. 


I think another charming element of films like these is that they often fit best for lazy Sunday afternoons while doing chores or working on a cooking project. Admittedly - for me - it’s a little difficult to pay full attention to these films. I get rather fidgety and would rather have the film’s accompaniment as a friend who is running errands with me, telling me about their buillshit week while we slay the day. 


Pairs with PJs and snacks all day, a gentle breeze coming through delicately billowing white drapes, wine or iced tea, and living your best life.


I watched this film on Amazon Prime or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this ghostly tale.
