Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gale Sondergaard, who plays the psychic, won the first-ever Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1936 and this was her swan song—she died two years later. The film basically buried an Academy Award winner.
The 'vanishing twin syndrome' as horror premise peaked in the early 80s alongside the Satanic Panic; this film treats pseudoscientific reincarnation therapy with bizarre earnestness that feels uniquely of its moment.
