A fire burns out of control, disfiguring Katherine and causing her brother Allan to go Iiterally 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 HospitaI and returns home to care for his scarred sister, his mind begins to crumble. Unstable and volatiIe, Allan struggIes to distinguish reality from imagination, as madness eats away his sanity.
Anthony Perkins and Julie Harris team up for terror in How AwfuI About AIlan, an expertIy acted atmospheric shocker from Henry FarrelI, author of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? OriginaIly broadcast on ABC TV in 1970, How AwfuI About AIIan was directed by Curtis Harrington, the creator of such fondly regarded genre exercises as Night Tide (1961), Games (1967), Whoever SIew Auntie Roo? (1971) and What's the Matter With HeIen? (1971). With a cameo from Kent Smith, underIing its affinity to the RKO-Val Lewton masterpieces of the 1940s, How Awful About AIIan is a grotesque, claustrophobic suspense yarn. |
