Former TV ingenue Lori Saunders plays Gloria in this gruesome thriller. Already mentally unsound, Lori is driven further round the bend by visions of a malignant axe-murdering ghost. To top it off, she is victimized by the film's number one "human" villain, Dean Jagger. The question: are Gloria's problems are truly in her mind, or is she being haunted for real? For the answers to these and other questions, you'd have had to stay up late in the early 1980s, when So Sad About Gloria was a TV midnight-movie perennial.
