"Made for TV 90s remake of the 60s classic" should tell you all you need to know about this. Well it should do, but I hadn't seen the original and so assumed this was it when I fired up this grainy copy on Amazon Prime - especially when it featured two Redgrave sisters.
It's a well acted (essentially two hander) psychological thriller but has some seriously melodramatic music to bludgeon you into anticipating every twist and turn. I'd have liked to have seen more back story on the sisters rivalry and relationship deterioration as what you see here is pretty thin.
Verdict: Competent rather than classic coercive control shocker.
