This film suffers from many aspects: poor audio, lousy script and bare bones production. Conversely, it accurately captures the "absense" of the electronic age, natural beauty and innocence. The sound track is rather pleasant. If you're looking to relive this Era, it's worth a watch. Outside of this, there's nothing redeemable.

So Sad About Gloria (1975) * 1/2 (out of 4) Gloria (Lori Saunders) is released from a mental hospital and placed in the care of her uncle Frederick (Dean Jagger). Before long she falls in love with a man named Chris (Robert Ginnaven) and they are married but soon Gloria begins seeing a bloody axe murder, which may have something to do with her past. SO SAD ABOUT GLORIA is a film that should have been a lot better than it turned out but there's no question that it has a few memorable moments that make it somewhat worth sitting through if you're a fan of the horror genre. There's certainly nothing here that is going to make you run out and recommend the movie to all of your friends but God knows the genre has seen a lot worse. The highlight of the film happens early on with a rather over-the-top and somewhat bloody murder sequence. A woman is slowly getting ready for bed not knowing that a maniac is about to break in on her. The scene is fairly extended and the maniac breaks all sorts of items inside the room and when he slashes down on the lady there's certainly some blood flaw. This scene is easily the highlight of the film and sadly nothing like this happens again. The entire film plays out as a mystery because we're supposed to be guessing who the killer is but I'm going to guess that most people will figure out what's happening within the first twenty-minutes. In other words, if you've never seen or read a mystery in your life then you might get caught off guard by what happens. The rest... I thought Saunders was okay in her role and Jagger is always fun to watch. The film does offer up some scenes with a good atmosphere and the low-budget actually works in the film's favor. Still, the film is bloody dry at times and there's no question that the non-stop dialogue scenes really drag the film out. There are some good elements to be found here but overall the film is a mess.

If you can't guess the twist ending of So Sad About Gloria at least half an hour before it happens, you clearly haven't seen enough horror/thriller movies. Even in 1973, it must've seemed old hat. If the ending hadn't been so trite and predictable, I might have forgiven the fact that the film is so uneventful and boring for the most part. There's only one good scene in the whole film - the brutal and bloody axe murder of a buxom young woman - the majority of the screen-time being devoted to the sappy romance between heiress Gloria Wellman (Lori Saunders) and aspiring writer Chris Kenner (Robert Ginnaven). Having just been released from a mental hospital, Gloria still suffers from terrifying nightmares that somehow relate to her father's death, but her new relationship with Chris helps to banish her fears. Chris is exactly what Gloria needs: a caring, loving and understanding partner, and she is over the moon when he pops the question (with the approval of her Uncle Fredrick, played by Dean Jagger). In fact, Chris is almost too perfect - and it doesn't take much to put two and two together, especially when the new home that Chris rents for the couple turns out to be the place where the axe murder happened, and Gloria starts to hear strange noises in the night. Why, one severe shock and she would be pushed right over the edge... Yawn! 3.5/10, rounded up to 4 for the savage axe attack; more stuff like that, and this would've been great.

Back in the early 1980s a station in NJ used to show (almost) uncut horror films from the early 1970s at about 1 am. That's how I first saw "Blacula", "The Night Digger", "Don't Look in the Basement"...and this one. Creepy film about Gloria just being released from a mental institution. She goes home and various things start the happen that make her question her sanity--she keeps having dreams about a cloaked figure with an ax and keeps hearing music when no one else hears anything. SPOILER--Turns out it's just a plot to drive her crazy (again) to get all her money. END SPOILER It's VERY low budget (some of the dialogue couldn't be heard and the low production values show), the acting is not that great (except for the woman playing Gloria) and I saw it on TV so it looks like a crucial moment was cut out . Still this film had plenty of creepy images (the cloaked man especially) and there's one genuinely scary sequence in which she's (sort of) attacked by a man with an ax. Those images really worked on me--but I WAS watching it a 1 am in the morning! I saw this over 20 years ago and I still remember it. This will probably never be on DVD or TV soon so, if you get a chance, see it. Nothing great but it does work on you.

A great axing scene, overdone directing, excessive use of music, and some terrible acting by the lead heroine equals B movie heaven. Elvira ragged on it and MST should have; it is that much fun! This movie does manage to create a weird doomed kinda feel to it that is unique and kinda fun. If you like B movies (and you know you do otherwise you would not be reading this), check it out for a fun 90 minutes!

The curiously titled So Sad About Gloria is more of a thriller than a horror and tells the story of a young woman released from an asylum and trying to start her life afresh. Starring Lori "The Beverly Hillbillies" Saunders our heroine is a very wealthy lady who immediatly meets a suitor upon her release. But is she truly well again? And what part will those around her play? I was actually enjoying the film, Saunders was excellent and it very much saddened me that she didn't have a bigger career. She hasn't worked since 1980 and based on her performance here that's a real shame. The film is well paced and interesting but has some severe flaws. For one the actual camera work is poor, I don't mean the traditional cinematography I mean the cameras used. The quality is poor and the scratches and blemishes on the lense are unforgivable! To make matters worse the soundtrack is really quite bad, it's over the top in places and truly cringe inducing in others. As if all that wasn't enough the story trails off, it doesn't deliver which is very unfortunate as I was really getting into it. Despite the flaws the film is watchable, if you can get past the patchy writing and embarassing unprofessionalism there is entertainment to be had and Saunders is postively mesmerizing. The Good: Lori Saunders Some decent ideas The Bad: Camera quality is awful Incredibly cringe inducing soundtrack Story sadly doesn't deliver Things I Learnt From This Movie: I suddenly have the overwhelming compulsion to climb a tree

For a basically no-budget thriller, this isn't really all that bad. Director Harry Thomason went on to produce the first-rate TV series "Designing Women," Dean Jagger was an Academy Award-winning actor, and Lori Saunders, best known for playing one of the sisters in "Petticoat Junction," is actually pretty good in a very atypical role. The plot about a recently released mental patient who may or may not be committing a series of ax murders isn't particularly original, but the film does achieve a degree of suspense, and Saunders does a good job--for the most part--of conveying the anxiety and confusion of a young girl who isn't sure if she's a serial killer. The film is definitely hampered by its next-to-nil production values, and Thomason obviously had quite a bit to learn about directing--mainly about pacing and continuity--but it's not a completely botched effort. And Lori Saunders is just so damn cute it's hard not to give her the benefit of the doubt. But then again . . . Anyway, it's worth a look. (However, there's another Harry Thomason film that isn't: a bottom-of-the-barrel sci-fi stinker called "The Day It Came to Earth." Absolutely rancid. Skip it.)
