Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Strange tale of a series of murders of trustees of an orphanage on a Scottish island, revealed as having supernatural causes. Something has obviously come fatally adrift with the film, which wavers between Chabrol-like touches, a bit of Truffaut in his Bride Wore Black mood, and some straight British MI5 stuff. The script seems mostly at fault, and often the acting is just that little bit over-emphatic, which doesn't help. Not Sasdy at his best.Author: DP
