Baby Jane is the pioneer in psycho-biddy sub-genre. I found it a remarkable psychologically twisted character piece with one hell of an unique storyline. The bitter Hollywood rivalry between Davis and Crawford gave an extra layer to the intensity of almost every aspect of the movie. I always like to put it in my Top 5 best psychological horror films of all time list.
