(Reviewed by Preppy) - Extremely unpleasant but fascinating.  Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) a faded film star and her wheelchair bound sister Blanche (Joan Crawford) live together in a huge mansion. Jane is slowly but surely losing touch with reality and despises her sister Blanche. Jane starts to mentally and physically torture Blanche. How will Blanche escape?

I don't think this film is a camp classic--there's nothing even remotely funny about it. It is basically a horror movie about two sisters. As we all know now, Crawford and Davis HATED each other and it actually helps the movie--Davis' hatred REALLY shows. Also the movie was wisely shot in black & white (Davis said she insisted on that) giving the film a very dark, gloomy tone and look. And Crawford and Davis are both great in their roles. Crawford has never been nicer and Davis never meaner. It's well directed by Robert Aldrich and there's an interesting supporting performance by Victor Buono.

I love the film but I realize it IS unpleasant. The violence is (by today's standards) tame but it's shot in a way that puts you right there and it's not pleasant seeing Davis go after Crawford. So, I highly recommend this film but I can't see how anyone can call this camp. I'm giving it a 10.
