When
his brother vanishes without a trace, American Robert Stone goes to the
last known location, a remote British village. His investigation leads
Robert to the lavish mansion of Jonathon Lanceford, a gentleman obsessed
with two things: the gothic writings of Edgar Allen Poe and his beautiful,
enigmatic niece Dominie.
Miss
Jenny Agutter has enjoyed a long and successful career (100+ films in
40+ years) since this early project. The film - originally planned for
British television under the KISS ME AND DIE title
- was released theatrically in Europe and the UK as THE
SAVAGE CURSE due to Miss Agutter's growing popularity at the time.
She is known for such mainstream hits as American Werewolf In London
and Captain America, but genre fans will always remember
Jenny for Nicolas Roeg's WALKABOUT
and David Greene's erotic thriller I
START COUNTING.
This
project was penned by the late Brian Clemens, a screenwriter best known
for creating the TV series The Avengers, Remington Steeleand thePerry Masontelevision movies (he also directed
one film, the vastly underrated CAPTAIN
KRONOS, VAMPIRE HUNTER).
