Fiend (1980)
4/10
"And tomorrow we shall renew ourselves again"

Warning: Spoilers
Gary Kender (with a big moustache) suspects that his music playing neighbour Eric Longfellow (with an even bigger moustache) may be a local serial killer. He discovers that Longfellow's deeds are being made by a red glowing fiend that has inhabited the dead body of a music teacher. This is a slow moving film with scenes of a man feeding a cat, a bottle of wine being opened, a candle being lit, a man opening a box and a man getting into his car filmed at a slow pace, to say the least.

Richard Nelson as Kender must be one of the most unappealing heroes in film. One wanted to punch his nose five minutes after his character first appears. Don Leifert as the fiendish Longfellow is moderately entertaining and Elaine White as Marsha Kender is winsomely cute. As is Pepper who played Dorian the cat. George Stover is suitably cringing as Dennis Frye. Not a film to set the pulse racing, to say the least.
