A woman's release from a sanitarium leads to visions of axe murders and mounting dread.
SO SAD ABOUT GLORIA
A young woman just released from a mental hospital moves back in with her family. However, she is soon troubled by disturbing visions in which she commits a series of axe murders.
Because nothing says family reunion like a persistent vision of an axe.
So Sad About Gloria turns post-institutional anxiety into a Southern Gothic nightmare, with Lori Saunders as a woman stalked by her own psyche—or maybe something worse. Between sanitarium flashbacks and axe-wielding hallucinations, Harry Thomason's film keeps the tension psychological and the atmosphere thick as humidity in August.
