This is one of the best occult thrillers ever made. Direction, acting,
cinematography and the music score are superb as is the script based on the
Fred Mustard Stewart novel with the same title. Curd Juergens plays a
famous
concert pianist and Barbara Parkins his adoring incestuous daughter.
Wanting
to make their illicit love eternal they feel compelled to make ritualistic
human sacrifices to Satan.
The film aided by an excellent Jerry Goldsmith
score manages to create an unsettling and more and more threatening
atmosphere as the true nature of these two becomes clearer and a journalist
played by Alan Alda gets drawn into their web. His wife, played by
Jacqueline Bisset, sees the imminent danger in nightmares. These dream
sequences that gradually unveil the shocking truth are extremely well
filmed
and the music enhances the emotional impact even further.
This one is a
real
chiller with some very frightening moments and a very surprising end. Its
many disturbing images will haunt you for quite some time. It proves that
elegant filmmaking becomes the horror genre very well.
