Seance on a Wet Afternoon
Was it magic... Or murder they planned?
Directed by Bryan Forbes
Produced by Allied Film Makers, Beaver Films
A tense psychological thriller about a delusional woman and her complicit husband whose scheme to fake a psychic miracle spirals into genuine criminality and moral corruption.
Working-class British housewife Myra Savage reinvents herself as a medium, holding seances in the sitting room of her home with the hidden assistance of her under-employed, asthmatic husband, Billy. In an attempt to enhance her credibility as a psychic, Myra hatches an elaborate, ill-conceived plot to kidnap a wealthy couple's young daughter so that she can then help the police "find" the missing girl.
