Sharron Macready spends her holidays viewing old houses, she asks to study Trennick Hall, but the owner, Douglas Trennick refuses her request, believing something is wrong, Sharron explores at night, but is captured.
Somehow, I always think of an abandoned Hammer Horror film, it's almost like a film went into pre production, but was axed, and picked up by The Champions.
There are some very good elements here, including some great visuals, a strong setting, and rather an unsettling atmosphere, and it's good to see Sharron at the centre of things for a change.
Some of it, is sadly half baked, the story is pretty weak, and they could have gone further with the characters. It's a story about witchcraft, it needed muh more of a horror vibe, it's just too bland, and as for the lack of urgency Craig and Richard have for a missing Sharron is surreal.
Terrence Alexander was a wonderful actor, but he's woefully underused here, Adrienne Cori did at least manage to make The White Witch interesting. Keen eyed viewers will spot Josephine Tewson plating the switchboard operator.
There are a couple of gaffs here, Sharron's call to Craig and Richard.....well all I can say, I that Zurich never looked like that when I was there. Craig's drink changes multiple times in the pub, I hope one of them wasn't a single malt, or he'd have been sozzled.
More good than bad, it should have been much better.
6/10.
