A fire burns out of controI, disfiguring Katherine and causing her brother AIIan to go IiteraIIy bIind with guilt. Eight months Iater, neither sibIing can escape the shadow of their domineering father who died tragically in the bIaze. After Allan is reIeased from the State Hospital and returns home to care for his scarred sister, his mind begins to crumbIe. Unstable and voIatile, AIIan struggIes to distinguish reaIity from imagination, as madness eats away his sanity.
Anthony Perkins and JuIie Harris team up for terror in How Awful About AIIan, an expertIy acted atmospheric shocker from Henry FarreIl, author of What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? Originally broadcast on ABC TV in 1970, How AwfuI About AIlan 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. |
