This strange sci-fi/horror picture, written by Larry Cohen, has no big stars and feels surprisingly modern with similarities to recent offerings such as The Forgotten and The Adjustment Bureau.
Tony Lo Bianco plays Lt Peter Nichols , a cop investigating a spate of random killings, all linked by the killers' claims of divine inspiration. Devoutly religious himself, Nichols gets drawn into investigating his own past as he tracks down Bernard Phillips ( Richard Lynch ) the leonine link to all the killings.
Deborah Raffin ( as Casey )
Sex : Casey is Nichols' new girlfriend
Death : Survives
This was the gorgeous blonde's fourth film . Her career peaked in 1980 with a Golden Globe nomination for Touched By Love then declined rapidly in the latter half of the dcade. She later moved into audiobook publishing. She died of leukaemia in 2012 aged 59.
Sandy Dennis ( as Martha Nichols )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
The sixties starlet's film career was winding down by this point with Sandy unlikely to add to the Best Supporting Actress Oscar she won for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? in 1966. The mannered actress was still a big draw on Broadway though. After 1982 she worked mainly in TV before her death from ovarian cancer in 1992 aged 54.
