Taste (or Scream) of Fear is an excellent thriller starring Susan Strasberg as Penny, a woman confined to a wheelchair after a horse-riding accident years earlier. She's gone to visit her father and her new step-mother, and she hasn't seen her father in years. Prior to her arrival though, her father is supposedly called away on business, so Penny is stuck hanging out with step-mother Jane, who seems quite nice.Penny begins to see a lot of Bob, the chauffeur, and of course Jane doesn't approve of that, since he's not in her class Also present a lot of the time is intrusive Dr. Gerard (Christopher Lee), who is concerned because Penny seems to be seeing things, like her father's dead body in the summer-house. Despite the fact that Penny has spoken to her father on the phone, she begins to think that there's something very wrong here.Bob sides with Penny and tries to help her get to the bottom of things, but unfortunately for Penny, nothing is what it seems to be, and no one is who they appear to be either. And that includes Penny. There's a twist ending to this that I didn't see coming and it's actually foreshadowed, but that all depends on how much you paid attention to the beginning of the film, I suppose.An excellent film, now available on DVD in a two-disk set with "The Gorgon" and two more. If you're a Hammer fan you'll definitely want to get your mitts on THIS one. 8 out of 10.
