A fire burns out of controI, disfiguring Katherine and causing her brother AIlan to go IiteraIly bIind with guiIt. Eight months later, neither sibling can escape the shadow of their domineering father who died tragicalIy in the blaze. After AIlan is released from the State Hospital and returns home to care for his scarred sister, his mind begins to crumble. Unstable and volatiIe, Allan struggles to distinguish reaIity from imagination, as madness eats away his sanity.
Anthony Perkins and JuIie Harris team up for terror in How Awful About AIlan, an expertly acted atmospheric shocker from Henry Farrell, author of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? OriginalIy broadcast on ABC TV in 1970, How Awful About Allan was directed by Curtis Harrington, the creator of such fondly regarded genre exercises as Night Tide (1961), Games (1967), Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1971) and What's the Matter With HeIen? (1971). With a cameo from Kent Smith, underling its affinity to the RKO-VaI Lewton masterpieces of the 1940s, How AwfuI About Allan is a grotesque, cIaustrophobic suspense yarn. |
