Effective TV outing, 15 sierpieñ 1999

Author: Matthew Naylor from Lincoln, England

This installment from the Hammer House of Horror is fairly effective. The plot concerns a recently released prisoner trying to find work, who falls under the spell of peter Cushing. Needless to say, things don't work out smoothly!

There is a tiny cast of only 5 named characters, but this helps with the claustrophobic feel of the story. Peter Cushing is at his purring best as a pet shop owner with a mysterious past. On the whole, a rewarding, if unchallenging experience.
