Viewing Notes

Finally got around to watching my VHS. Was hoping for something a little stronger than the final result esp. with this cast. It’s more straightforward with its story and less mystery. Not great but I give it a bump for a great Michael York as he descends into madness, the gorgeous Edwige Fenech who still has it at 39 years old, and the crazy Donald Pleasence. Worth viewing but don’t expect much.
