Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

shango7200 This series debuted in the USA on channel 4 NBC in 1973 on Sunday nights. It was an odd programming choice indeed; an imported "thriller" series in prime time--and a half hour one at that. The episode that remains the most horrifying the the Ray Walston "freaks" episode! I was a huge fan of "Night Gallery" at the time so this series eluded me for decades up until last month when I purchased a "bootleg" DVDR set of what seems to be the entire series. Not too many of the episodes were as scary as I remembered, however the low budget and overall "tone" of the series is creepy. The best episode that I did NOT remember is the one with Mildred Dunnock as a rich old lady who's nephew was trying to do her in to get her riches. The plot was incredibly far fetched --however there was a DOUBLE shock ending to the story and it was pretty original ( a psycho-killer was lurking about and it seemed like the nephew was trying to put her in harm's way and have the killer take care of her). Most of the episodes seem rushed and sloppy, but they did always try to give a shock ending when they could. The other episode that was above average was one with Darren McGavin as a heart specialist who's dead patient was out for revenge. Overall, it was one of those series that time has not been kind to, but, I treasure it for scaring me as a 10 year old in 1973!!

kirsrick I am proud to say my father was a sound mixer on some or all of the Evil Touch series. I have always thought it to be an Aussie production as his studio was in Sydney. Being only 9 at the time, I was ecstatic to be allowed to sit up and watch every episode with my siblings, 'because Daddy made it'. We practically thought he made the whole show single-handedly!! I have so wanted to see it again. I can ask my father about production etc if anyone is still interested. I will never forget the colored smoke coming up over Anthony Quails "Vincent Price' type face and one line from an episode 'By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea, you're going to die, die, die, die'! Scary for a 9 year old!!! Loved the heart one though. Mmmmm, maybe that's why I am now a nurse! I do remember my father also being involved in an Australia production of a Columbo episode, shot in Sydney. Well, we moved out to the country at 13 so my father's sound mixing days ended then!

mcmacs I too have fond memories of this show though I recall its budgetary limitations being obvious even by then-contemporary standards.The lake monster in DEAR BELOVED MONSTER looked like a briefly-glimpsed head of cabbage. But then so did the 'revelatory' 1970s photos from the underwater camera at Loch Ness.One interesting episode was A GAME OF HEARTS. Darren McGavin plays a heart surgeon who takes a heart from a not-quite-dead donor. He then starts getting chilling phone calls from the dead man. The final scenes have him fleeing through a deserted house with his undead tormentor in pursuit. It was shot in very NIGHT STALKERish style.... substitute the donor, with a black and bloody hole in his chest, with Barry Atwater and you're pretty much there. And the character's name? Gabor Skorzeny. The vampire's name in the NIGHT STALKER TV movie? Janos Skorzeny! Hmmmm..... well imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess.I would certainly endorse another look at THE EVIL TOUCH.

Bruce Corneil As with the other contributors, I have happy memories of watching this excellent TV drama which regularly included elements of sci fi, horror and supernatural goings-on.It was stylish entertainment and having recently seen a couple of episodes again for the first time since the 70s, I'm pleased to say that it's lost nothing over the years which speaks volumes about its original quality. Just one small point ...I think you'll find that it was, in fact, an American production possibly made for (or by) the NBC Network (I may be wrong and I'd be more than happy to stand corrected). Certainly, it was shot in Sydney and featured local actors in support roles. As other contributors have correctly noted, however, virtually every episode starred an imported Hollywood lead actor and the largely Australian production crew worked under the supervision of American director Mende Brown. It could, and perhaps SHOULD, be more accurately described as an American /Australian co-production.Anyway, the final product was a highly watchable example of 70s television. Unfortunately, and sadly, it sank like a stone and disappeared quickly from the small screen. Perhaps the show's sheer sophistication may have priced it out of the mass market? Perhaps it arrived on the scene a fraction of a moment too late at a time when other quality series such as "Columbo" and "The Nightstalker" had already been given a head start ?"The Evil Touch" deserved to succeed but fate intervened.
