Using the term "thriller" loosely

This one left me scratching my head. I had to keep "rewinding" the DVR to see what I was missing, and I wasn't even falling asleep!
Pretty disappointing for my first Val Lewton-produced film. So much press lately, yet this has to be one of his minor efforts. I'd heard how he did miracles on a shoestring, turning bare concepts of lurid titles into creepy, atmospheric masterpieces. Well, I missed the boat on this one. I didn't find anything special about Kim Hunter's search for her missing sister, especially when she was found halfway through. Maybe it's the times in which we live, but I can't fathom what she was involved in that could be found more than a littlel shocking.
Also disappointing was Hammer Films' 1965 mystery, "Hysteria". I'm afraid as I get further into …
