While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This was clearly a pilot for a proposed TV series, but it seems all three American TV networks passed on making it a series. Watching it, it's pretty easy to see why there were no takers. The producers probably thought they were on a hot trend, since the movie takes elements from the recent and popular movies "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist". But this execution is sorely lacking in thrills and coherence. After an okay five minute opening taking place in the past, the movie proceeds to focus the next forty or so minutes on a romance between Elyssa Davalos and Dack Rambo, which is utterly boring when the two actors are not acting extremely obnoxious. Then the movie abruptly changes track, so much so that I was often bewildered - it seems that A LOT of key scenes of explanation are missing in the movie's second half! B movie fans will probably be disappointed that Richard Lynch is given almost nothing to do in the entire running time. It's no surprise that the movie is apparently in the public domain, since I can't see any strong fan base for this movie that would keep it in the conscious of the copyright holders.

Pilot film for a series that I don't think ever happened that should have worked because it was written by Jimmy Sangster. The basic premise was to have Dack Rambo and Dan O'Herlihy as a detective and an exorcist go around and fight the evils kicked up by the evil Richard Lynch.It's a mess. The need to be for TV and to set up an episodic series meas that nothing is ultimately gripping or resolved. Tension isn't created so much a phoned in at carefully timed breaks for commercials. Released on tape and DVD as a feature you never stop seeing it for the TV movie that it is. Avoid even at 99 cents.

I didn't hate this as much as some of the comments here, but it's nothing to write home to mom about either.The weirdest part was the ending. It just ended! Talk about an unsatisfied feel! Upon reading up on the movie, I learned it was meant to be a pilot for a series, and I guess that dumb ending was meant to be picked up. Unfortunately, I think the writers shot themselves in the foot in that the movie and the ending was so odd, it never wound up living past its first show! Good only if you want to see a creepy, low-budget horror flick on a lonely night, and you don't mind an ending that's as weird as the VCR getting unplugged halfway through.

This is actually a really good TV horror movie. I viewed it in a cheap DVD horror set i found recently. It could be compared to the Exorcist with Linda Blair in some respects, but the plot is quite unique and interesting. It gets much better in the second half of the film and makes you wonder what's coming next in the story line. I hated when the movie ended since it left the doors wide open for a TV series. It could very well have been a great supernatural based TV drama series and it's a shame that it obviously never came to fruition.
