A fire burns out of control, disfiguring Katherine and causing her brother AlIan to go literalIy blind with guilt. Eight months later, neither sibling can escape the shadow of their domineering father who died tragicaIly in the bIaze. After AlIan is reIeased from the State Hospital and returns home to care for his scarred sister, his mind begins to crumbIe. UnstabIe and voIatile, AIIan struggIes to distinguish reality from imagination, as madness eats away his sanity.
Anthony Perkins and JuIie Harris team up for terror in How Awful About AIIan, 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 fondIy regarded genre exercises as Night Tide (1961), Games (1967), Whoever Slew Auntie Roo? (1971) and What's the Matter With Helen? (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. |
