Review:
This was a very neat little film that again reminded me of something Hammer or Amicus may put out, only of course it wasn't! Its about a young couple who pack up and move to England when Margaret (Ross) is offered a job. On their way there their motorcycle is hit by a strange man who invites them in for tea. Of course they aren't exactly free to leave, and things are far from what they seem. Soon they've been invited to join an elite circle, but will they take it? I don't want to spoil the surprise (that seems to piss off people as much as it does delight others). I personally was happy with the ending and I liked how it ended up. The story though is definitely more about atmosphere and such but there are at least a few good deaths here. One of the better unknowns from the '70s!
