Atmospheric, laced with dark humour throughout- and a finale I didn't quite expect- so glad to finally land on this cult classic! Such a great Christoper Lee performance and Edward Woodward portrays the perfect counterpoint. This would have been a TIFF Midnight Madness hit back in the 70s!! Incredible folk rock soundtrack... what a great counter-cultural footprint for those times...

Pretty standard filmmaking here but it was worth it to see Maier's work and it's sheer scope.

None of it feels like any fun and you…

Series 7 focusses on a couple of competitors who have been chosen from a national lottery system to mandatorily participate in series 7 of the nation's most…
