John D. Hancock’s deeply unsettling horror classic arrives on 4K Ultra HD!

Introducing Radiance/Transmission Film's Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray (Region B) for 1971's Let's Scare Jessica to Death. Inspired by Henry James’ novella The Turn of the Screw (1898) and Robert Wise’s The Haunting (1963), John D. Hancock’s debut feature was largely misunderstood upon its original release in 1971. More recently, however, the film has enjoyed a critical reappraisal that rightly identifies it as an essential piece of 1970s genre cinema. Featuring a fantastic, tormented performance from Lampert and an eerie synth score, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death is a dreamlike, deeply unsettling horror classic.

Following her release from a psychiatric hospital, Jessica (Zohra Lampert) moves to a remote farmhouse in the hope of making a fresh start. Upon arriving at the house with her husband (Barton Heyman) and their friend (Kevin O’Connor), they discover a mysterious drifter (Mariclare Costello) squatting there, who they allow to stay.

Yet Jessica soon discovers that their new guest bears an uncanny resemblance to a young woman who drowned in the nearby lake and, as local legend dictates, now stalks the area as a vampire. As frightening visions begin to haunt Jessica, she desperately tries to unpick whether she is suffering a relapse or if the ominous and sinister events plaguing her are in fact real…
