Voices (1973 film)

Voices is a 1973 British psychological drama thriller film directed by Kevin Billington and starring David Hemmings and Gayle Hunnicutt.

[2][3] The idyllic existence of young couple Robert and Claire Williams is turned upside down when their 6-year-old son David dies accidentally by drowning while they were making love in their boat.

However, later both Claire and her husband Robert experience a series of unexplained supernatural events that leave them questioning their sanity as well as their very existence.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "All the seams are showing in this calcified film-of-the-play, which sets a foredoomed young couple loose amidst the dust-covers of a crepitating old mansion and settles down to record ninety minutes of quaintly brittle dialogue which comes off the screen with all the snap and crackle of a bowl of soggy cereal. ...

Someone has made a wan attempt to be inventive with the new medium by bleaching out the colour in the one main set and reducing the complexion of the actors to a whiter shade of putty (thereby hinting the ghostly twist of the ending).
