Blu-ray Review: Let's Scare Jessica to Death
Tumblr media
Despite being cited as one of Stephen King's favorite horror movies, Let's Scare Jessica to Death is an phenomenon film nearly lost to obscurity. Marking the feature debut of theater director John Hancock (Bang the Drum Slowly), the effective chiller was produced independently then purchased and distributed by Paramount in 1971. From the lyrical direction and restrained cinematography to the subdued performances and atmospheric score, it is haunting in every sense of the word.
Hoping for a fresh start following her recent release from a mental institution, Jessica (Zohra Lampert, The Exorcist III) moves from New York City to a rural farmhouse with her husband, Duncan (Barton Heyman, The Exorcist). Joining them are their friend, Woody (Kevin O'Connor, Special Effects), and a drifter, Emily (Mariclare Costello, Ordinary People). It's not long before Jessica begins seeing a mysterious woman (Gretchen Corbett, The Rockford Files) who may be what local legends claim is a vampire.
Tumblr media
Although its misleading title suggests a campy B-movie, Let's Scare Jessica to Death is anything but. The film embodies a unique tone that is ethereal but not inaccessible; surreal but not incoherent; ambiguous but not dissatisfying. Its atmosphere is similar to that of such precursors as Carnival of Souls, Night of the Living Dead, and The Haunting, along with later dreamlike works like Phantasm and the films of David Lynch and Jean Rollin.
Voice over is often seen as a lazy storytelling technique, but Jessica's occasional narration provides valuable insight into the character's fragile mental state, in which there also exists the nay-saying whispers of her psyche. While a diagnosis is never outright discussed among the allusions to her past struggles, the film is fascinating examination of mental illness that remains just as relevant today as it was five decades ago. Lampert is excellent in her vulnerable performance as Jessica, leading a small cast populated by unknown New York stage actors.
Tumblr media
The relapse-or-reality angle also proves to be a clever conceit for a horror movie plot; one that the Evil Dead remake later used to similar success. Hancock and his co-writer, Lee Kalcheim (All in the Family), cause the audience and characters alike - including Jessica herself - to constantly question if something sinister is indeed afoot or if it's all in her head. Much like the psychological hold that Jessica experiences, the absorbing film lingers in the viewer's mind long after the credits roll.
Set against the bucolic backdrop of northeast autumn foliage, Hancock and cinematographer Robert M. Baldwin (Frankenhooker, The Exterminator) capture some truly eerie imagery. The most memorable set piece is the ghastly woman in the lake; a shot so powerful that it reportedly earned Hancock the gig to direct Jaws 2, though he was fired during production. Orville Stoeber's score bolsters the tone as it shifts between serene acoustic guitar and the eerie hum of a synthesizer.
Tumblr media
Let's Scare Jessica to Death makes its much-needed Blu-ray debut via Scream Factory; one can only hope that it opens the film to a new audience. The high-definition transfer is detailed yet retains the appropriate grain, showcasing the uniquely gritty aesthetic that could seemingly only be attained by 1970s independent horror films. Special features are led by a new audio commentary by Hancock and producer Bill Badalato (Alien Resurrection, Top Gun). The track is a bit slow-moving but informative. In addition to reflecting back on their experiences as young filmmakers, a highlight comes when they briefly discuss modern horror films.
In a new interview, Stoeber discusses his early experimentation with the synthesizer and channeling his personal darkness into the score. Author/film critic Kim Newman reflects on the movie - which he cites as his favorite horror film - in a 23-minute piece. Newman proves he is a fount of knowledge as he discusses his love for Let's Scare Jessica to Death and similar pictures. The final featurette plays clips from the film back-to-back with footage from the Connecticut filming locations as they appear today (sadly, the farmhouse is falling apart). The theatrical trailer, a TV spot, a radio spot, and a still gallery round out the extras.
Let's Scare Jessica to Death is available now on Blu-ray via Scream Factory.
