Whats the horror film

I saw a horror film on the big screen back in 1978 but it wasn't the main film but the one before. I dont know who it starred in it and I'm not sure of the title but Dream Home keeps springing to mind. It is about a newly wed couple who move into a new home and the woman keeps hallucinating i.e a little boy riding on a bike in the garden, husband laying in bed with his throat cut and a woman laying in the bath dead etc etc. They call in a clairvoyant who tells them the house isnt haunted, they look back into the past history of the house a find no record of any strange happenings. The finale has a real twist when the woman is diagnosed as having paranoia and the husband sells the house and hands the keys over to (guess what) the woman who the wife had seen laying dead in the bath and the little boy riding around on his bike. The man then gets in his car and has his throat slit by an escaped mental patient.

This was one of those films that I keep thinking about but can never find, anyone know anything.

Thanks in anticipation

Oh and another thing on the finale is as the man hands over the key the woman says something like my husband is in bed with the flu and I just going to have a bath.

Hi Joko,

The film I mentioned ran for about 1.5 hours. How I miss the good old days of the big screen as we the public were spoilt with support films usually running for as long as the main. It is a film I truly would like to locate as it genuinely made me jump, unlike some of the rubbish nowadays.

Cheers

I think the movie was called Dream House and I think it was a second feature that was shown with The Exterminator. It wasnt a long movie, maybe around an hour, I think.
