Screenwriter
Jimmy Sangster and
John Llewellyn Moxey, longtime collaborators in the field of British psychological-horror efforts, once more combined their skills for the American TV movie
Taste of Evil.
Barbara Parkins plays a young rape victim, recently released from a mental institution. She begins experiencing "flashbacks" to her rape; are these merely illusions, or is she being systematically tortured by a mystery villain?
Barbara Stanwyck, Roddy McDowell,
William Windom, Roddy McDowell and
Bing Russell (Kurt's father) express varying degrees of concern and menace.
Taste of Evil is a bit of a letdown considering its cast and the previous achievements of the Sangster/Moxey team. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
