Horror House
Faded Hollywood star Katharine Packard (Miriam
Hopkins) lives a secluded life in a sprawling
mansion, battling the bottle and struggling
to hold on to her eroding sanity. After
a drunken fall leads to a broken leg, her
doctor advertises for a live-in nurse. An
intense, sarcastic young man named Vic (John
Garfield, Jr.) arrives to claim the assignment,
and is hired despite the concerns of Ms.
Packard's secretary (Gale Sondergaard).
She's right to suspect the worst, for not
only is Vic lying about his medical credentials,
he's also a psychopathic killer who preys
exclusively on older women. He charms his
way into Katharine's good graces, and eventually
she thinks she's falling in love. Soon Vic
is in full control of the household, charging
expensive outfits for himself and bringing
drug dealers and freaks back for midnight
parties. When the elderly screen legend
realizes that her young gigolo is dangerous,
she mysteriously disappears. As the domestic
help start to get wise, they are picked
off one by one by this remorseless predator.
