"Let's Scare Jessica To Death"- Had high hopes for this one, but could barely make it through the whole thing. The premise is an interesting one, and this could've been great, but for me it just falls flat. Jessica has been released from an institution and is ready to start her life over. She retreats to an old Victorian farmhouse in a rural Connecticut town with her husband and friend and find a strange woman crashing there. She starts being plagued by nightmarish visions, not sure whether it's really happening to her or if it's all in her mind. Sounds good, right? Wrong. Zohra Lampert plays Jessica, and she is one of the most annoying actresses ever to grace the silver screen. She drove me absolutely bonkers. There are some great, nightmarish scenes in this movie, but still overall I just did not like it. I kept feeling like I should like it, but just couldn't.
The movie is muddled and just didn't really make sense to me. I think if done right it could be a very creepy, unsettling flick. Are you listening, Hollywood?
