We're not having much luck with my 70s TV movie, so let's jump forward a decade to something I'm sure someone will remember! ![Smilie](/community/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I must have seen this on one of those movie channels on cable, Cinemax or something, in the 90s, and it MIGHT be European or Australian?
It was an 80s feature film (shot on film this time!) about a paranoid man in an old house under renovation.
He feels compelled to remain in it, but his estranged wife or girlfriend has had (almost) enough!
The movie is in color, and the half-repaired house the perfect setting to highlight the man's deteriorating psychological condition.
Very slow paced, the man is constantly overhearing his wife or GF, still present in (or frequently visiting) the house, but now avoiding him, as she talks to someone.
He can't make out what she's saying, but he is CERTAIN she means him no good!![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif)
Is he crazy? Is she there? Is she talking to a ghost, or a human accomplice?
I'll stop there, as any more info. will be a potential spoiler, but the ending is quite a shocking and tragic twist.
WHO has seen this terrifying tale??
Editing to add that I tried to edit the title to correct the decade, but it won't let me.

Reason: Wrong decade in the original title!
