Demons of the Mind (1972)
This one from the Hammer Collection is a weird little thriller. A physician finds out that two children are being imprisoned in their house by their father. He decides to find out what's going on and discovers a very disturbing "family life" with incest and satanic possession. The story is not exactly great and the dialog is kind of goofy at parts. The acting could have also been better, but it's not a bad movie. The mood is quite great and at parts it reminded me of The Wicker Man (1973) in it's feel. At parts there's even some nice "what the fuck?" moments. And those parts are what makes this one well worth the watch. With a bit more focus on the script and better cast, this would be a great movie, now it's just above average. The picture quality is quite good and there's a commentary with director, writer and co-star Virginia Wethrell and a trailer as extras. No subtitles as usual.
