Burnt Offerings 1976 - Pool Scene - Ben goes crazy

[foodiedave]

I know your comment was 7 months ago, but since you were searching for 25 years I thought you might still be interested....I just watched this on Netflix streaming, so you could find it there. I understand its on DVD now, too.

I think the dad jumping off the diving board, flying through the air doing a belly flop, and subsequently staring through the broken glasses is a foreshadowing of his own death--flying through the air, face first into the windshield. What do you think?  Maybe I'm wrong.

It's creepy how Karen Black gradually turns into Mrs. Allerdyce. This scene and the funeral scene as scary as hell.

BTW: If you watch the funeral scene (Oliver Reed's nightmare) you can see a brief glimpse of Karen Black and how she looked after she completely changed into Mrs. Allerdyce. You have to watch really carefully, it's as the camera pans the mourners. Added creepiest to an already spokey movie.
