Review

one of richard donner’s (lethal weapon 1-4, 16 blocks) first feature films is this horror film in the tradition of rosemary’s baby. gregory peck plays the father of what turns out to be the devil’s spawn. the end is similar to the chilling final shot of the 70s version of invasion of the body snatchers. it’s not a particularly amazing film, but it keeps the suspense rolling nicely and has at least two chilling thrills. worth a watch.
