Member Rating:  
A married couple is haunted by a series of mysterious occurrences after the death of their young daughter in this enigmatic chiller. Based on a story by Daphne du Maurier, whose works inspired Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca and The Birds, the film centers on Laura and John Baxter (Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie), who have recently relocated to Venice so that John can oversee the architectural restoration of an old church. Both hope that the change of environment will allow them to forget the recent tragic demise of their child, but they instead find themselves surrounded by reminders of death, as the city attempts to deal with a series of unexplained murders. The eeriness intensifies when they encounter a blind psychic and her eccentric sister, who promise to contact her daughter's spirit. Laura embraces the idea, but John remains skeptical until he experiences his own visions: fleeting glimpses of someone in a red coat similar to one that belonged to his daughter. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

    The scariest thing about this movie was the moment you thought you might catch a glimpse of Donald Sutherlands male parts.

    This movie was an underated thriller/chiller with very good performances by Donald Sutherland and Julie Christe. It has one of the best sensuous love making seens for the 70's.The picture slowly builds up to its eerie climax.The use of bright red color in the red rain coat along with the dark and foreboding winter shots of Venice adds to dark atmosphere.Its a psychological thriller which some of the other member reviewers can't seem to comprehend so don't let this put you off from watching a good picture.
