This is a real waste of time. Only 74 minutes long, but seems much more, a dreary, sanitised "Exorcist" style plot is trotted out in typical seventies TV movie style. That means no violence and very little action as a group of satanists plot to stop their chosen disciple from falling in love with any man who will stand in the way of her union with the god Astoroth. Even Hammer's "To the devil a daughter" which was weakly plotted along similar lines, had more going for it than this tedious offering. Too much chocolate box romance and too little horror sinks this one. Not suprisingly, this pilot movie didn't launch a series. I guess the producers realised that there wasn't much they could do with the format of a priest and a lovesick man mooning around the country looking for his lost love and throwing in the odd exorcism every week .A few TV movies from the seventies managed to stir up some shudders, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, The Night Stalker, Gargoyles, Trilogy of Terror spring to mind, but this anaemic offering deserves to remain anonymous.
