SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION

If you loved The Mephisto Waltz, try these.

The Sentinel poster 01

Movie / 1977 / Horror / Drama

The Sentinel

Why this pick

Like The Mephisto Waltz, this is polished 1970s occult horror in an upscale Manhattan world, letting sophisticated surroundings and a vulnerable protagonist make the supernatural menace feel unusually intimate.

The Other poster 02

Movie / 1972 / Drama / Horror

The Other

Why this pick

Its graceful period surface and carefully controlled pacing create the same kind of elegant, disquieting horror, where family warmth and cultivated appearances conceal a steadily deepening unease.

The Nightcomers poster 03

Movie / 1971 / Drama / Horror / Thriller

The Nightcomers

Why this pick

A sensual, psychologically charged early-1970s chiller, driven less by shocks than by forbidden attraction, manipulation, and an atmosphere of decadent threat.

The Blood Spattered Bride poster 04

Movie / 1972 / Horror

The Blood Spattered Bride

Why this pick

Its stylish European imagery and erotic Gothic mood echo the favourite’s adult, seductive approach to horror, with relationships becoming the source of escalating dread.

Burnt Offerings poster 05

Movie / 1976 / Horror

Burnt Offerings

Why this pick

Another refined 1970s supernatural nightmare, it patiently turns a family’s tempting escape into claustrophobic domestic horror through mood, unease, and disorienting psychological pressure.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Myles Clarkson (Alan Alda), long ago frustrated in his hope for a career as a pianist, is now a Music journalism and interviews Duncan Ely (Curd Jürgens) , perhaps the world's greatest virtuoso on the instrument. At first annoyed by Myles' presence, Duncan soon takes notice that Myles' hands seem perfect for the piano. From that point, Duncan and his adult daughter, Roxanne (Barbara Parkins), strongly pursue a friendship with Myles and wife Paula (Jacqueline Bisset).
