The Screaming Woman is a very efficient, handsomely photographed TV-movie based on a Ray Bradbury short story.
The star is the great Olivia Havilland (The Heiress). This is very much her one-woman show.
The script is good, but often undermined by mediocre Universal contract players.
As compensation, you have great support from Hollywood legends Joseph Cotten and Walter Pidgeon.
Ed Nelson is good as a sinister neighbor.
Worth a look, but I don't recommend this for those with fears of being buried alive. It is the basis of the plot, and it is made clear from the first few minutes that Olivia is not imagining that.
I saw this as a kid, and have always remembered it. It was great to catch up with it again. ABC made some terrific little thrillers back in the day.
