Olivia De Havilland plays a middle-aged mental patient who has recently been released from a mental institution after suffering a breakdown.After going to the woods she discovers a woman buried alive and screaming for help on the grounds of her sprawling estate,but her family feels that her mind has snapped and refuses to believe the bizarre story in its greed to get hold of her money if she is declared incompetent.It seems the muffled screams are those of a woman buried alive at a construction site by her recluse husband."The Screaming Woman" is very loosely based on Ray Bradbury's short story,which I haven't read.It's TV-debut of Olivia De Havilland.The film is fast-paced and genuinely creepy.There is no gore or nudity,just good old-fashioned scares and mystery.8 out of 10.
