Despite being dead, Penny’s father has the annoying habit of popping up in the most unexpected of places! What can it all mean? The overwrought Penny might just be imagining it all (is her father really dead??), but in fact nothing is as it seems in her stepmother’s lovely villa in the South of France. As with many such films of its era, “Taste of Fear” bears the influence of seminal shockers “Psycho” and “Les Diaboliques” and is well served by an outstanding cast. So suspend disbelief, settle yourself comfortably on the edge of your seat and prepare to taste the fear!
