(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
David Niven returns to his home in rural France, where he is the mysterious lord of a castle. Deborah Kerr is his wife and she soon follows from England with kids in tow. Gradually she realizes that Niven is a willing participant in an ancient religion and plans to sacrifice their young son. It's a moody story told in a slightly arty style, with lots of swooping and spinning camerawork. Sharon Tate and David Hemmings are brother and sister who are also caught up in the evil proceedings.
