"Six String Samurai" - the music , the emerald city / Lost vegas
I've been back to watch the last 30 seconds more than once.

The Godfather or The Graduate
shareThe Descent.
Since I spied it in trending. Wasn't Eden Lake's ending a bit?
Planet of the Apes (1968).
shareThat's a great one.
shareThe ending of the sequel Beneath was also a big shocker for my 12-year-old self. A bloody hand slipping off the lever, the screen fading to white as the alpha/omega bomb ignites and that sombre voice announcing "a green and insignificant planet... is now dead". Bleak.

shareLet's Scare Jessica To Death.
shareWow. Someone else knows about this movie! I saw this at a drive-in when I was a teen... I don't remember the ending specifically, but I do remember how it creeped me out.
shareVery atmospheric...
Very early 70s! π
I was in my late teens back then.
I love this movie. I have it. I'm waiting til October to watch it again. Another month, and I'm in Horror Movie Heaven!
My gawd! It gives me the chills just thinking about this! Yikes! And the look on Valerie Harper's face OMG!
shareOh yes! Really creepy! And those towns people!
I'm afraid that you may have some actresses mixed up. I can understand that because of how old this film is. Valerie Harper wasn't in this. Zohra Lampert starred as Jessica. I have seen her in a lot of things... good actress. Gretchen Corbett played the girl who was living in the house before they came.... and was invited to stay.
She also played John Boy's teacher on The Waltons. π
You know, the more I think about it, the more I want to see it right now. Why wait? It's on this afternoon!
Oh yes, I do indeed have it confused with another TV movie. I did see "Jessica". The one I am speaking of is "Don't Go to Sleep "(1982).
I don't remember too much of either film, but do remember the 70's being the heyday of fantastic scary TV movies! What a delight back then to watch these.
At this point it would be in Heavenly Creatures because I watched it recently and it's still fresh in my mind.
