This Hammer flick, which was filmed back to back with PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES-indeed, many of the same sets are visible-is a pretty good entry from the studio. General set up; mysterious deaths in the village, relatives/outsiders come to check it out, met with hostility etc etc. Jennifer Daniel, looking about as adorable as She was in KISS OF THE VAMPIRE (and that's saying something::love::!) and Noel Willman (also from KOTV) give TR solid support .Credit must be given to Jacqueline Pearce, who carries the makeup with panache (despite claustrophobia making it difficult to wear) and and a sympathetic portrayal as the Daughter having to pay for the Sins of the Father.

Also, happily, is another winning Michael Ripper turn. Even more happily, He doesn't meet some nasty demise and in fact becomes heroic by the finale::cool::!
