Have you ever gone swimming – only to find someone dead coming out of the water? Well, it’s Shocktober, so anything is possible!

Shocktober 2016 Wants To Scare Jessica To Death!”

How can you not love a horror movie with this tagline:

“Something is after Jessica. Something very cold, very wet…and very dead.”

Shocktober day #19 wants to introduce you to an obscure cult chiller from the early 70’s – psychological horror that will unnerve you!

First, check out this trailer:

Here’s an obscure movie worth finding! A recently institutionalized woman has bizarre experiences after moving into a supposedly haunted country farmhouse and fears she may be losing her sanity once again.

“Let’s Scare Jessica To Death” stands as one of the most subtle, yet truly scary films ever made. It just gets under your skin, despite a sensational title that suggests one of those “let’s do something to get her inheritance” contrived plots.

It is a masterful example of believable horror that has all the haunting lyricism needed to keep its motor going and draw the audience into Jessica’s surreal nightmares.

Zohra Lampert’s performance is superb and one of the most realistic portrayals of mental instability we have in the genre. Does it all really happen or is it in Jessica’s mind? In the end, she still doesn’t know and neither do we. Simply put, that is the triumph and beauty of this wonderful thriller.

The Overlook Film Encyclopedia calls Let’s Scare Jessica To Death a “poetic and persuasive film” that “borrows from both the gothic and post-Night of the Living Dead traditions to depict the death of the love generation as a group of dropouts who find rural America less than accommodating.”

Is Jessica going crazy again? Is something in the lake? And is it coming after her? The mystery unfolds in a creepy, psychologically horrific way…

This is a very effective little horror movie – that is more than anything a look into the madness that envelopes a woman and just won’t let go…unless everything happening to her is real…this is a very little-known film, but worth finding!

This movie has such a reputation now that there is an official website celebrating it! Check it out here:
