It's hard to believe that no one has commented on this. Jane Badler (fresh off of 'V') was great in this somewhat dark tale of an affluent family involved in the occult. It's been years since I've seen this but as I've stated in other postings: I lost nearly 100% of my VHS tapes in a flood and everyday I regret never making duplicates of these TV treasures...But the thing I do remember about the film is that it aired on broadcast at 90 minutes (with commercials), was completely open-ended as to leave room for the proposed series and it looked like that warped made for video slasher flick from 1987 'Epitaph' (about the sick Elizabeth Taylor look-a-like stepmother). Anyhow, maybe a fan copy will surface one day as it beats the hell out of a lot of stuff coming down the pike now.

I saw this movie by chance in an unexpected place and it really got my attention. The pace was slow but atmospheric enough and interesting, the basic concepts kept their appeal and the acting was from decent to excellent, especially from the main protagonists (Ferrer, Morse most notably etch), and it even had some likeable characters that kept your interest. This was no superproduction and in never pretended to be but it was above medium and, although it probably didn't have enough going on to become a full series, it would have made an interesting couple of sequels that I wouldn' t mind to see, although of course this never happened... To sum up, if you don't have lots of expectations and you like the genre it is not a waste of time...

I saw this movie years ago at the old screening house on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood CA. I remember the movie quite well as Barry Morse portrayed one of my favorite characters from the old TV series Space 1999 and I was quite jazzed to see him again. This movie was a pilot for a possible new TV series which did not get picked up. I was not at all surprised that it didn't make it as a series as the pilot's story was slow and plodding. The story was about a powerful family with connections with the devil/supernatural and the people fighting against them. Not exactly an original storyline nor a particularly interesting one. From what I remember, the pilot was aired but but nothing came of it. I'm not sure if this movie exists anywhere anymore but you're not missing much by not having seen it.

This was one awesome movie, I wish they would go ahead and make the series or soap opera
