The antiquarian Michael Roberts (Ray Lonnen) buys an old mirror in an auction with his friend Laura (Barbara Ewing). Meanwhile, the young woman Allison (Rosalyn Landor) flees from a sect that worships the demon Choronzon and wants to sacrifice her to summon the devil. She stumbles upon Michael's car on the road and he brings her home. He learns that the mirror is a powerful instrument to summon Choronzon. Soon the leader of the cult society Charles Randolph (John Carson), who is a hypnotist, visits Michael expecting to bring Allison back to the sect with the mirror. But Michael has fallen in love with Allison and will do anything to protect her.
"Guardian of the Abyss" is an engaging episode of "Hammer House of Horror" but unfortunately with a deceptive conclusion. The plot attracts the attention of the viewer since the beginning but when Michael goes after Allison, the sequence is terrible. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Guardião do Abismo" ("Guardian of the Abyss")
