Director: Michael Anderson
Rating: PG
A greedy man drives his wife to suicide to acquire money from her will, and the plan comes back at him negatively when her spirit haunts him.
The movie stars Cliff Robertson as David Ballard, Jean Simmons as Dominique Ballard, Jenny Agutter as Anne Ballard, and Simon Ward as Tony Calvert.
"Dominique" is a slow burn, but there is a very strong and chilling atmosphere that keeps the viewer interested. The lighting, music, and camera angles all showed technical proficiency, because they were perfect for the moments of terror in the film. While the dialogue, writing, and acting are only mediocre, this doesn't make the film less enjoyable, because it is still interesting and thrilling. The ending was a humongous twist that I hadn't expected, and heightened my opinion of the movie greatly.
"Dominique" is not a masterpiece in horror, but it is definitely worth a watch for lovers of B-movies. It is thrilling, technically beautiful, and an overall cool movie.
Grade: 6.5/10(pretty good B-movie).
