Daughter of Horror 1955 2005 Horror Movie Review

The terror of the past gains nightmarish proportions in the present as director John Parker’s Daughter of Horror relates the story of a young woman teetering on the brink of insanity. Shot entirely in night-darkened apartments and streets to effectively bring out the psychological tension, the film is a true cliffhanger of suspense and escalating dread as it crescendos to a terrifying climax of paranoid guilt and murder. The viewer cannot but identify with the pathetic state of the young woman who finds no escape from a violent past. The eerie atmosphere that pervades throughout this classic vintage horror film is reminiscent of other cinematographic masterpieces by Roman Polanski and Alfred Hitchcock.
