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
