Personal Synopsis

I believe the attempt to make someone go out of their mind by supposed hallucinations is an exemplary effort in criminality. This is a interesting episode of psychological thrills with very fine acting from Donald Houston. I couldn’t say that this was particularly written well but the story was fluid and garnered enough interest to find out why this would happen to a “average” man.
