William Castle's HOMICIDAL (1961)
Details
Chaos and danger reign when good girl Miriam Webster meets her half-brother's girlfriend, Emily, a mysterious blonde bombshell living at their family's Southern California estate. She is not, however, as sweet as she seems. Emily soon reveals herself to be a murderous schemer who will stop at nothing to steal Miriam's extensive inheritance.
Like many of Castle's films, it was released with a promotional gimmick—in this case, a "fright break," that allowed patrons to receive a refund if they were too scared to stay for the climax of the film. While a few reviews upon its release were mixed, it has since gained a cult following and is considered one of Castle's best films.
