Antique dealer Michael Roberts comes into the possession of a beautiful mirror, which turns out to be a scrying glass. Michael comes to the aid of Allison, a young woman fleeing from a group of occultists, but he has something they want.
This is a very well produced episode, it feels slick and tightly pieced together, but it's the story itself that I find so enjoyable. The sets are terrific, especially the Occultist worshipping chamber.
It wouldn't be a Hammer series if there wasn't a story of The Occult, and this one works very well, writer David Fisher had a definite flair for blood rituals and devil worship, I'd go so far as to say this is one of the show's best episodes.
This one certainly has an unexpected twist at the end, it's something a little different, and instead of the usual damsel on the alter....well just watch and see.
I would suggest they went for a bit of sex appeal here, Rosalyn Landor is strikingly beautiful, and Ray Lonnen certainly had a degree of sex appeal.
The acting is spot on, John Carson fits the bill as the menacing Charles Randolph very well, Lonnen, Darrow and Landor are all very good indeed.
A favourite of mine.
8/10.
