When the film begins, a young girl, Susan, is attacked and raped. Suddenly the film jumps ahead many years and you learn, through some clumsy exposition, that for the intervening time Susan (Barbara Parkins) has been in a mental institution. During the first two years of this stay, she was catatonic and now she has suppressed the identity of her attacker. Through the course of the film, it's obviously folks are screwing with Susan's mind....and here is where the film gets VERY bad. She supposedly sees a dead person...and then conveniently faints. When she is awakened, the dead man is gone and no one else has seen him. A bit later, she sees another dead guy and runs away to tell others...and when she returns this one is gone as well. In fact, this sort of silly thing seemed to happen again and again. This is so clumsy and stupid and really took a decent story idea and relegated it to a sub-par made for TV film and nothing more.
By the way, as a retired psychotherapist, the notion of anyone completely blocking out the identity of their attacker is a bit tenuous. It seems possible, at least temporarily, but it a plot device way overused in films. Also, if Barbara Parkins seems familiar, she's one of the folks who starred in "Valley of the Dolls"--a truly awful and stupid (but thoroughly enjoyable) bad movie of the late 60s.
