What happens

A Reflection of Fear is a 1972 American horror thriller film directed by William A. Fraker with a screenplay by Edward Hume and Lewis John Carlino and starring Sondra Locke, Robert Shaw, Mary Ure, Signe Hasso, Gordon Devol and Sally Kellerman. It is based on the novel Go to Thy Deathbed by Stanton Forbes. The film spent a long time on the shelf. Principal photography was completed in the early part of 1971, but its premiere was not until late 1972 and its general release was not until the winter of 1973. Lead actress Locke was nearly twice the age of her character. Although Ure played Locke's mother, she was in fact only eleven years older than Locke. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
