STARRING JOAN CRAWFORD AND DIRECTED BY THE MASTER OF
LOW-BUDGET HORROR, WILLIAM CASTLE
"In 1964, William Castle would employ the biggest gimmick of his moviemaking career - Joan Crawford as an ax murderer in Strait-Jacket."
—FanboyNation.com
"Crawford's campy histrionics and some neat stylistic flourishes make this worthy entertainment."
—Film Frenzy
Convicted axe-murderess Lucy Harbin (Joan Crawford) is released from the asylum where she was sent 20 years ago for slaying her unfaithful husband. Lucy goes to stay at her brother's farm and reconnect with her grown daughter, Carol (Diane Baker), who saw her mother chop her father to pieces as a tot. Carol helps Lucy regain her old glamorous look — but suspects that history might be repeating itself when anyone who angers her mother turns up hacked to death.
