Note : Crypto-fascist British director Michael Winner didn't only make films where Charles Bronson murdered the poor and the brown-skinned, he also tried his hand at supernatural horror, and the result is, suprisingly, pretty good, but, unsurprisingly, also highly controversial. The plot is nothing extremely special, a post-Rosemary's Baby NYC-set suspense story about a young couple moving into a new apartment and finding out there's something very wrong with the neighbors and, indeed, the whole building. The cast is a grab bag of good and fairly famous (or later famous) actors, including Cristina Raines and Chris Sarandon as the leads, Martin Balsam, John Carradine, Ava Gardner, Burgess Meredith, Sylvia Miles, uh, Eli Wallach, umm, Christopher Walken, what, Jerry Orbach, and for some reason Jeff Goldblum, why the fuck not. There are a few good gore sequences, but just when you think the SFX makeup people have outdone themselves, it turns out the whole finale, full of strange-looking, deformed demons and condemned souls out of hell, was done by casting a bunch of non-actors with actual deformities, which is pretty despicable.
Alison Parker is a model with a history of psychological problems, who moves into a historic brownstone in Brooklyn Heights. The top floor is inhabited by a blind priest who constantly sits at the window, and the other neigbors are no less unusual, an eccentric older man, a lesbian couple whose younger member masturbates furiously in front of Alison when she visits, and several other strange people, who invite her to a birthday party for the old man's cat. When Alison's complains to the realtor, she's told no one lives in the building except her and the priest, and when her laywer boyfriend Michael gets a corrupt cop acquaintance to investigate at night, Alison has a vision of her dead father's animated corpse, which she stabs before running into the street and collapsing, and the cop is later found stabbed to death in a different location. As it turns out all the neighbors Alison claims she's met are actually dead murderers, and the building is owned by the Catholic diocese, and when Michael investigates, he finds out the building is over a gateway to hell, that the priest upstairs is the latest in a line of suicidal lay people who all took up the position on the date of their predecessors' deaths, and that Allison is slated to be next in line. It doesn't end very well for everyone, as people are murdered, demons spill out into the house, and we have to, once again, trust in the Catholic church to get shit done. Good thing this isn't real life, or they'd just transfer the demons to another diocese and cover the whole thing up.
This is a transfer from, I think an internegative or similar, but it looks pretty good, with the only downside being somewhat crushed blacks and a not entirely sharp image, but it's pretty good. Stereo track sounds fine, and a whole three commentary tracks should be enough to keep anyone busy for a while.
