Crucible of Horror (1971)

In the chilling confines of an aristocratic English residence, a chilling narrative unfolds, helmed by a father whose sadistic pleasure knows no bounds. This oppressive patriarch, a successful stockbroker, revels in transforming the lives of his terrified wife and adolescent daughter into a waking nightmare. Pushed to the brink by his relentless torment, the mother-daughter duo devises a sinister plot to end his reign of terror - a lethal cocktail of drugs and poison. As they dispose of his lifeless body, their relief is short-lived, replaced by a haunting dread that grips the mother. The night of the alleged murder is tainted by dreams soaked in horror, and the father's image persists in her waking hours. However, the chilling climax is yet to unfold. To their stupefied horror, the supposedly dead father reappears at the breakfast table the next morning, resuming his usual demeanor, leaving his wife petrified. The viewers are left to grapple with a tantalizing question - Did the murder transpire, or was it merely a figment of an overwrought imagination? The answer lies shrouded in the eerie silence of the 'Crucible of Horror'.
