APRIL 16 VHS MOVIE REVIEW : HAUNTS (1975)

Ingrid (May Britt, who used to be married to Sammy Davis Jr.) is being stalked by a mysterious maniac wearing a black ski mask and gloves. The killer has already struck once, raping and killing a local girl by cutting her up with a pair of scissors. Her Uncle Carl (Cameron Mitchell) has a hard time believing Ingrid since she has a history of accusing men of rape since she was sexually abused as a little girl. Even the alcoholic Sheriff (Aldo Ray) has his doubts about her claims. More women end up getting murdered by the scissor-weilding psycho, with one of the bodies being dumped at Ingrid's farm, left as chicken food for the chickens. The list of suspects is large: Frankie (William Gray Espy), the local delivery boy who's a real horndog; Uncle Carl, whose appearance in town coincides with the murders; Bill Spry (Robert Hippard), the new guy in town who happens to be in Ingrid's church choir; the Sheriff, who takes his time in coming to Ingrid's rescue; and Ingrid herself, who cannot stand the touch of a man and who's religious convictions are on the obsessive side. Are Ingrid's attacks real or in her imagination? Was she raped by Frankie while she was taking a shower or was that a fantasy? When Bill Spry is shot dead after trying to rape a girl, everyone in the town, except Ingrid, thinks the killer has been silenced. She kills Frankie after he tries to rape her again and Uncle Carl buries him in the back yard. Or did she and does he? It turns out Ingrid is a total loon as Frankie is alive, the police find her favorite goat buried in the back yard and her Uncle Carl has never lived with her. She commits suicide by slitting her wrists in the bathtub, the same thing her mother did years before. An autopsy reveals that Ingrid died a virgin and all of the memories that she had of being sexually abused as a child were all in her head. When Uncle Carl comes to town to claim the body, he tells the Sheriff Ingrid's sad history. Flashbacks at the end reveal that Uncle Carl is not an innocent party in Ingrid's life. Director Herb Freed, who also made the horror films BEYOND EVIL (1980) and GRADUATION DAY (1981), moves this film at a leisurely pace and most fans of horror will find that it moves far too slow. As a study of an unstable mind and the things it takes to trigger the insanity, it hit its' mark. As a horror film, it doesn't get too bloody and, as I have mentioned before, it crawls at a snail's pace. You make up your mind if you want to see it. A Media Home Entertainment Release. Rated R. { text from critcononline.com }
