Sadism at its purest.
When travelling out and about in Manila, James Robertson finds a bit of bad Spanish Colonial art, depicting a scene of witches being burned, one of the witches has an uncanny resemblance to his wife Chris.
Another horror from the seventies that was filmed in The Philippines, I hadn't realised how many were, if love to know why so many were used, first off the location definitely adds something, I loved the building and decor, so unusual.
That is one dramatic opening sequence, it sets the tone for the remainder of the film, a torture scene, and a bit of nudity, that's always going to grab your attention. The main body of the film is perhaps a little slow, but it has a few moments of interest.
Tom Selleck in a role before he became famous for Magnum PI, he's pretty good, Robertson is well meaning if a little naive. Selleck sorting his famous moustache and definitely visually appealing, Barra Grant played the past of the haunted Christine well.
The camera work is a little clunky, and the whole thing is a little slow moving, but some of the visuals are pretty good, with some scenes having a touch of realism about them. The sequence with the car, looked good, white imaginative too.
Alright, so it's not a classic, but it's watchable.
6/10.
