Tormented (1960)
3/10
Ghost Woman Gets Revenge
24 April 2024
Bert I. Gordon directed this ghostly revenge thriller starring Richard Carlson as successful jazz pianist Tom Stewart, who is preparing to marry his wealthy fiancée on her family's California island which has an abandoned lighthouse where his ex-girlfriend/singer Vi confronts him at the top, and then accidentally falls to her death into the sea, though her vengeful ghost does not stay at rest, but torments him to admit his guilt, but he instead covers-up the death leading to inevitable tragedy. Susan Gordon and Joe Turkel co-star.

Good premise with much spooky potential at the Lighthouse setting is squandered in a heavy-handed and unimaginative manner, practically no suspense and feels overlong even at 74 minutes, leading to an all too predictable outcome. Ghost f/x are poorly realized as well.
