Review of Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) by Bill B — 20 Oct 2012
A deeply unsettling exercise in on- and offscreen space, alternating between intensely claustrophobic framing and wide open spaces to create a hypnotic sense of dread that slowly crescendoes into a terrifying final act.
Beautifully shot, with cool, subdued colors, with a great, mellow, folksy, pleasant piano-based score that adds immensely to the eerily off-kilter experience. Like "Carnival of Souls," the low-budget aesthetic is part of what makes "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" so chillingly otherworldly.
One of the best and scariest horror movies I've seen.
