Could have been better

This is one that I think could have been so much better. You wouldn't have thought it was possible to make a story about satanists and the occult dull, but it must be, because I've just seen the result. Apart from a couple of good performances from (especially) Stuart Wilson and Ronald Pickup, this has little to commend it. The childrens' magic show was nice, as were Joyce's efforts to celebrate Halloween and the old mansion with it's library looked great.

I did think that the killer's motives made sense, but why wait so long to wreak revenge on those who had harmed his mother? What was it that tipped him over the edge to think "I must do this now?" Didn't the original ritual take place 30 years ago?
