The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971) Movie Review

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (1971) (IMDB)

The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh movie poster

Early 1970’s slasher horror set in Europe. Mrs. Wardh is the wife of a diplomat who returns to Vienna from NYC and is stalked by a serial killer. As people around her continue to become victims, will she able to stay safe ? Is the stalker her former lover ?

If you are going to pay a bribe so your husband doesn’t find out about your affair, best to not make the meet-up place near a hedge maze. The dropoff is supposed to take place at Palmenhaus at Schönbrunn Palace (A must see tourist destination in Vienna, and maybe all of Europe - the grounds are outstanding). In real life, the Schönbrunn - Irrgarten includes many mazes if you visit !

The movie unfolds with Mrs. Wardh playing a game of cat and mouse, with notes, attacks and chases unfolding. Overall a decent movie worth a watch.

I give it a 6.3/10.
