A very imaginative and well-paced (but a little silly) crime drama from 1977 where diamond thieves steal remote controlled model aeroplanes and then use them to smuggle diamonds. It's not exactly Snakes On A Plane, but it doesn't need to be.
It's now finally available on DVD from BFI in their "Children's Film Foundation Bumper Box Vol. 2".

From hearing some of these reviews, you'd think this was Birdemic or something. Ignore the ignorant and/or lying trolls, this is a pretty good movie. It's not exactly "Night of the Demon/Curse of the Demon", but it has some very good performances, a good plot that has a good few twists and turns, a reasonable pace and plenty of flesh (both being exposed and slashed).
Without giving too much away, it's a modern take on the sort of themes you'd find in films like "The Devil Rides Out", "The Virgin Witch" and "The Dunwich Horror", but not "modern" as in "feminist tosh". Modern as in shot on modern cameras with modern effects. Give it a chance.
