6/10

One of the earliest gialli in film history comes from Greece

"Efialtis" aka "Nightmare" is a unique movie for its time and country: a psychological mystery - thriller when the most fashionable products of the day were either comedies or melodramas. What makes it even more impressive is that it's the writing and directing debut of Errikos Andreou, who was then only 23 (!!) years old. It is certainly influenced by the US and British gothic thrillers of its era, but it really has more in common with the Italian gialli that were to dominate the market the following decade. The plot leads to successful misdirections (I had assumptions about what was going on, which were wrong), there is some striking use of mirror imagery, and Voula Harilaou gives a fantastic performance. On the other hand, the male lead is a bit bland, and some scenes do drag a little. **1/2 out of 4.
