The House on Straw Hill (aka Trauma, aka Expose) is one of the UK’s original video nasties that for a long time was banned in Brittan. It was released as… “Exposé” in 1989, then “Trauma” (USA) and “House on Straw Hill”. A novelist (Udo Kier) hires a quiet British country house so that he can work on finishing his latest novel. His agent arranges for a secretary to stay with him, in order to speed up its completion (played by Linda Hayden). However, this turns out to be a big mistake when she reveals that she has actually come to kill him for stealing the manuscript for his last novel from her husband, which drove him to suicide. The housekeeper, Kier’s girlfriend (70’s sex superstar Fiona Richmond) and 2 local thugs all meet horrific ends as Hayden goes on her killing spree. In this scene, Fiona Richmond gets sliced up in a much more bloody and graphic re-make of Hitchcock’s “Psycho” shower scene.
