Featured review
Must see, if you can find it.
Amazing film, especially for a low budget Irish TV Movie. Bone chilling, sparse, and lovely canvas. McGoohan is as always unmissable, and Lee Van Cleef though in another low budget movie, really shines in this.
I saw this originally in 79' when I was seven, it left an indellible mark on my psyche and I was 40 before I was able to find a copy of it, I was wondering if it was going to be as good as I remembered. I need not have worried, it was even better.
This really needs a DVD release, as if seen by a wider audience would increase both McGoohan's and Van Cleef's reputations (not that either need it, but it's a gem in both their careers.)
