With a 16 month run of nightly viewing with no American classic films, last week we watched MDFs wonderful recommendation Inferno (1953) and so decided to watch another American film last night Mind Over Murder (1979) Ivan Nagy. I first saw this paranormal thriller in 1979 and had never forgotten the tense little tale. Now nearly 40 years on and with low expectations, an American late 70s made for tv film ? , a good time for a reappraisal... Well what a terrific surprise we got, holding up very well after all these years and thousands of classics in between, I found the thriller to be creatively filmed, tense, exciting and at times it sent genuine unnerving shivers through my body. Model actress Deborah Raffin is a knockout as Suzy, she starts to experience strange paranormal activity, time suddenly stands still she has visions that seem to foretell tragic events, a frightening aspect of her hallucinations is the regular appearance of a mysterious, obviously evil, bald man... Following on I am keen to see another made for TV film Nightmare in Badham County (1976) John Llewellyn Moxey also starring Deborah Raffin... During a road trip, two UCLA co-eds end up in a Southern prison farm on trumped-up charges brought on by a small town sex-crazed corrupt sheriff !
