A Reflection of Fear



This 1972 film is a horror/thriller directed by William A. Fraker and the stars include Robert Shaw, Sandra Locke and Sally Kellerman. It's based on the novel Go To Thy Deathbed by Stanton Forbes.

A teenaged girl named Marguerite lives a sheltered life with her mother and grandmother until something threatens her happiness. She has an unseen friend among the dolls in her room that hides through the secret passages. Soon blood is spilled, Marguerite is frightened and her father appears in her life after many years of being absent. There's something going on and a mystery in the house.  

The movie is also called "Autumn Child." Sandra Locke plays Marguerite and she's really eleven years younger than actress Mary Ure who played her mother. The film looks flowery and scenic but the story is very weird. It hints of incest and the characters are creepy. The film is a rotten apple so it gets a 2/10
