However, he now starts to make attempts on Jean's life – firstly trying to push her down the open lift shaft in the house, but Patrick quickly closes the safety gate.

Jean consults a solicitor in London about a divorce, but he tells her that her argument that a poltergeist is the only thing preventing David from murdering her 'won't hold water' in court.

When Jean returns later that night, having been driven home by her close friend and confidant Richard Foster, she learns that both David and Valerie have perished in the fire, trapped behind the bedroom's barred windows.

The film offers 'an unusually frank picture of a grim marriage (...) with a suggestion of adultery', they write, also noting that for 'a haunted house mystery', it is one 'with (not rare in British Bs) a downbeat ending'.
