6/10
Average Hammer Film
9 October 2012
A physician discovers that two children are being kept virtually imprisoned in their house by their father. He investigates, and discovers a web of sex, incest and satanic possession.

I was pumped to see this was a Hammer production, despite not having many actors or crew that I am familiar with (I recognized Patrick Magee of "Clockwork Orange" fame). Big names or not, that is a studio known for its quality. I would not say this film ranks among their best quality (and certainly not among their best overall), but it ranks considerably higher than BBC quality.

I found the scene with the young woman being bled interesting. I am not sure how people were bled historically, but the kit used in this film looks like something I would believe possible, and the process was quite interesting. Is it accurate? Perhaps?
