The husband also finds out that his wife loved traditional Japanese dance.

Let's Scare Jessica To Death USA, 1971 ☆☆☆☆

Jessica and her husband decide to go live in the countryside and escape from the city life. Pretty early on in the movie we learn that Jessica just came out of the psychiatric hospital. She hears voices and sees people that are not there. Her troubled mind starts playing games with her as she starts to hear voices that tell her that they will never leave her alone. In addition to this, when she and her boyfriend get to the new house they just bought, a stranger was already living there without permission.
The title of the movie is very deceiving, but that is part of the whole scheme. Is someone trying to scare her? Does she really hear voices? or is the local legend true and ghosts are really appearing? For a movie that is more than 30 years old, it still is pretty scary. Good job.
