Images (1972)


 

Schizophrenic housewife, engulfed by terrorizing apparitions, kills off each, unknowing if these demons are merely figments of her hallucinatory imagination or part of reality. 

Artsy psychological horror-drama with great Vilmos Zsigmond cinematography and a memorable performance by Susannah York overstretches its predictable doppelgänger motive and disappoints at the end.

Halliwell (no star): "Pretentious psycho-drama which might have made a good half-hour."

Maltin***1/2: "Difficult but fascinating film...images of reality and fantasy clash in a kind of continuous hallucination. Off-putting at first, but worth the effort to hang on."
