Little known film is actually really well put together, a great little horror film with plenty of humour and some splendid scenes - such as murder cross-cut to Christmas carol singers. Credits therefore to Reg Morris (camera) and Stan Cole (editor), and to Clark himself. Cast is Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea (the piano smasher), Margot Kidder, John Saxon, Marian Waldman as the dypso 'house mother' (acted in very few films, including the same year's Deranged), Andrea Martin, James Edmond, Doug McGrath (thick sergeant).
The perfect antidote to the more traditional seasonal fare on affair, especially those pukey cute dinosaur things they seem to put on these days.
(Editor's note - This jaded reviewer has clearly forgotten that Christmas is primarily intended for children.)
