Scream of Fear aka Taste of Fear

This black and white film is set on the beautiful cote d'azure.  Penny Appleby, a fragile and lovely wheelchair bound young lady is summoned by her father to visit his estate after a ten year absence.  Penny descends into Nice to be met by her father's chauffeur.  Arriving at the home, she is told her father is away on business by her stepmother.  Here begins her personal horror.  She sees her father's dead body in a variety of settings - only for it to vanish when the rest of the household appears.  






This psychological thriller follows Penny's possible descent into insanity.  Penny is adamant that she has seen her dead father and only her father's chauffeur appears to believe that her sightings are real and not imagined.  In their search for her father, Scream of Fear continues as a mind bending odyssey following Penny's search for the truth.  Note:  Nothing in this film is what it appears to be.



Although this film was not very popular in America, I think scary movie buffs would enjoy this film.  It is mostly non violent but more keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat.  I shared it with a few friends and family and they agreed.
