Dr. John Holden ventures to London to attend a paranormal psychology symposium with the intention to expose devil cult leader, Julian Karswell. Holden is a skeptic and does not believe in Karswell's power. Nonetheless, he accepts an invitation to stay at Karswell's estate, along with Joanna Harrington, niece of Holden's confidant who was electrocuted in a bizarre automobile accident. Karswell secretly slips a runic parchment into Holden's papers that might possibly be a death curse. Recurring strange events finally strike fear into Holden, who believes that his only hope is to pass the parchment back to Karswell to break the demonic curse.

Although this is a low budget British movie I personally think that it is underrated, It has a marvelous cast of British character actors familiar to me over the years. The movie is well constructed and has a well formed plot that is both menacing and sinister, I remember watching it as a child found it very frightening at the time.

I don't know whether anyone is familiar with Kate Bush's the Hounds of Love but at the seance in this film there's a line that the male medium shouts out that was sampled for the track on the album-"It's in the trees...it's coming!"
