Film: Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte (Cert 15)

Charlotte, a faded Southern Belle living as a recluse in her decaying mansion, carries with her a horrific past that is clawing at her psyche. When her house is targeted for demolition, threatening to turn up the long suppressed incident once again, Charlotte desperately summons her seemingly sweet-tempered cousin Miriam to help her fight off the house’s destruction.

Miriam calls for the family doctor to calm Charlotte’s frayed nerves as she begins to be plagued by horrific visions – but the real source of her delusions is about to be revealed.

Starring Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, and Joseph Cotton.
