Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Slappy, slow and dreadful
Why does this exist?
I'll tell you.
It exists as a Canadian take on the huge hit, "Klute", which starred Donald Sutherland and Jane Fonda.
That flick was bad enough. This one tells you where it's headed right off the bat with a screechy, decades out-of-fashion, theme song sung by the star, Karen Black against someone providing acoustic guitar.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - CLASSIC PULP- CULT- THRILLER- CRIME-NOIR

It begins with Black's character's death and follows to different threads - the story of the hooker leading up to her death and the story of the police investigation. So Black and Plummer never share a scene, but both are pretty good - Black as a drugged ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - HORRIBLE DVD release of obscure Canadian occult mystery
This DVD is of a little-known film made in Montreal in the early 1970s, starring a very young and beautiful Karen Black, Christopher Plummer and Quebec actor Donald Pilon. This film was often shown on TV in Canada throughout the 70s, and although I cannot call it a great movie, it does have a certain atmospheric quality to it which has stuck in my mind all these years.

This movie is one of a host of films that came out at around this time (see also: "The Devil's Rain", "Race With the Devil", "The Omen", ... Read More
