All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Demons Of The Mind (1972)

Starring: Robert Hardy, Michael Hordern
Director: Peter Sykes

Premise:
A rich man keeps his teenage children locked up and kept apart because he fears they have inherited a curse from their departed mother. A doctor convinces him that a demon is responsible for these actions and he has a cure.

My Take:
Seem like the writers through a little bit a everything in this story: demon possession, family curses, paranoid villagers, shyster doctors, and incest. It can get a tad convoluted at times and a little boring. But the film is a tad different from Hammer Studio film of the early 70's and worth wasting 90 minutes on.

Rating: In the middle
