This little-known Hammer offering stars Robert Hardy as a crazed baron who keeps his son Emil ( Shane Briant ) and daughter Elisabeth locked away from each other for fear they will go mad or have sex with each other or something. Patrick Magee plays a discredited doctor who might have a cure. Former Manfred Mann singer Paul Jones is young physician Richter trying to make sense of it all. Narrative coherence isn't the film's strong point but it's good on the eye.
