The Spider Woman Strikes Back

1946 · 59 min

A creaky, atmospheric old-dark-house chiller that coasts on gothic menace and a deliciously sinister villainess more than on scares.

Overview
A young girl goes to work as a live-in caretaker for a spooky old woman. She doesn't know that every night, the woman drains some blood from her to feed her strange plant.
