MCT:May 29, 2008Don't let the title fool you, this is not a horror, but a brilliant British thriller involving a medium who along with her push-over husband kidnap a young girl just to gain celebrity.
The acting of Kim Stanley and Richard Attenborough is probably the best thing in the film. Stanley was nominated for an Oscar for her performance and should of won.
A creepy, suspense thriller which is defiantly recommended. -

decent mid-60's suspense thriller starring richard attenborough, who kidnaps a child to please his delusional wife, played by kim stanley. primarily a stage actress, stanley made only a handful of films and this is worth seeing for the fine performances.

If there is one thing I've learned from films like Gone Baby Gone and Ransom and Jack the Bear and Man On Fire, it is that when you're kidnapping a child, everything that can go wrong will go wrong. Seance on a Wet Afternoon offers no exception to that rule. Don't let the title fool you, this one is more suspense than horror, though it has a few elements of the latter. Kim Stanley is creepishly wonderful as the disturbed medium and Richard Attenborough's submissive husband character is spot-on. For a film that I caught quite by accident, with no preconceived notions or high expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. This is a movie on par with better known genre gems like Diabolique and Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte.
