Tormented

Tom Stewart is prepared to marry when his previous lover turns up and demands he take her back. Their argument leads them to the top of an old lighthouse from which the girl falls to her death. Tom conceals his involvement in her death, but finds himself tortured by the woman's ghost - whose only desire is revenge.

Tormented is a surprisingly subtle thriller from Bert I. Gordon, primarily known for such extravagant, but low budget, features as Amazing Colossal Man, Attack of the Puppet People and The Spider. Utilizing the same special effects that propelled his other work, Gordon creates a tense, terrifying atmosphere that reaches its pinnacle when the scorned ghost invades the wedding ceremony - her very presence killing flowers and driving grown men to scream in terror.
