Shortly after the discovery of a hideous skull in a recently plowed field, a small 17th century English village is cursed with misfortune and murder. It seems Old Scratch himself is using the seductive young Angel (Linda Hayden) to manipulate the community’s youth in a quest to make himself complete and gain power. The town soon slips into hysteria as atrocity follows atrocity. Excellent British horror flick still manages to disturb decades later. Wendy Padbury plays an unfortunate innocent victim (a scene that still manages to get under my skin), Anthony “The Master” Ainley is the village reverend and Patrick Wymark is a skeptical London judge with some extreme methods for fighting the devil. Recommended.
