This low budget horror film was made for television in 1973, called Satan's School For Girls. It was directed by David Lowell Rich and starred Kate Jackson, Pamela Franklin, Cheryl Ladd and Lloyd Bochner.
This feels like a thriller for a while, setting the pace when a girl called Martha is found dead and is thought to have committed suicide but Martha's sister Elizabeth isn't convinced. Elizabeth is the only surviving relative and she goes away to look for what led to Martha's suicide. She visits the Salem Academy for Women and becomes curious when she sees a painting of a frightened woman that resembles her sister. She wants to look for more clues, and one wonders who's hiding in the basement.
The film depict formula of unrealistic traits of women in many horror films, such as investigating creepy places in the dark, standing in a window at night during a thunderstorm, putting trust in everyone in an institution full of weirdos and telling people ones secrets.
I rate this a 5/10 but that was only because it didn't have much tension and was slow in places.
Creepiest scene: Crazy teacher with the rats..
