This is the TV movie remake of the classic psycho-thriller starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. This low budget production obviously can't hold a candle to the original, but it does have the novelty value of casting real-life sisters Vanessa and Lynn Redgrave as the leads. Sadly, the concoction doesn't really work successfully and the end result is more frustrating than anything else. Lynn overacts horribly throughout and has none of the depth or sympathy of the original's character. Vanessa is the opposite and seems almost comatose at times. Most of the time this is a scene-for-scene copy, but there are a few changed bits, like the inclusion of a drag singer, which don't really work. The end question is...why bother with this when the original exists?
