Your thoughts. I have the DVD from netflix but haven't watched it yet... I'll read this after I do though. The 100 scariest moments on Bravo network tipped me off on this one.

Good film - from the usually dire Michael Winner would you believe - and probably the inspiration for Fulci's The Beyond.

i always liked this movie ... it was pretty different for its time ..
(i always said that the 70's was a great time for origional horror)

nothing like a demonic conspiracy theory film :)
Kind of goes with Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist if you wanted to sit down to an afternoon of 'there goes the neighbourhood' films

Yeah it's pretty good. It has a lot of stars before they were stars showing up here and there. It also has John Carradine and Burgess Meredith. Good stuff.

so, the Sentinal is to blame



Anywho, the movie was great. Plus, Eli Wallach always kicks ass

Good old Michael Winner!

This has some effective moments and a great cast, but is rather dull.

Best scene has to be Ms 'National Lamppon' herself Beverly D'Angelo letting her fingers do the walking in a wonderfully trashy masturbation scene!

Not one she puts on her CV now i would have thought.

Excellent old school trailer as well.
