I saw some reviewer say this movie was dull but just goes to show people today have lost their attention span unless it's nothing but blood and gore and special effects! Not only does this movie have great writing it had Steven Spielberg directing and it's still his best work ever! Darren McGavin and Sandy Dennis star as two people who move from NY and buy a house out in the country and 'something evil' maybe the devil is there. There are chills and scary scenes all thru this movie with great acting. I can't believe it's not on DVD with all the crap that is out there! If you like classic movies this TV movie is better than most major motion pictures and anything that comes out of Hollyweirdo today! Must have for an real movie fan.

This was made before the hit and by the same people who made the hit show Alias Smith and Jones which starred Peter Duel and Roger Davis. It has the same kind of writing, directing, themes and even the same actors, props and scenes. Why this wasn't picked up as a series is another TV mystery because it is as good as Smith and Jones. It is different as Duel plays a con man after some stolen money and Davis is a semi-honest nice guy who finds the money and intends to return it but gets mixed up with Duel and the talented funny gorgeous Joan Hackett. For any fan of Smith and Jones this is a must see. I have been a Smith and Jones fan since I was 9 and watched it in it's original run and reruns and now on DVD. I was reading about the show when I came across this movie and watched in online. It is really good and would like on DVD but it's never been released as I can find. But again if you are a fan of Smith and Jones or Peter Duel and Roger Davis see this.
