A very strange sort of Hammer production in that though it is easily as horrifying as most of their films - this one isn't really a horror film at all. The movie tackles a very relevant issue and did so years before it was acceptable to talk about such things as child molestation. The taboo subject matter has been handled with appropriate sensitivity by the director and the acting is of a high quality. It is a very well written and gripping drama with a potent message as well as a frightening one. Numerous important issues are touched upon along the way - social, sexual and legal. This is a film Hammer has every reason to be very proud of. Far from the cheap exploitatoiner one had every right to expect. This is a serious and well performed film about a pretty hot topic - especially way back when the film was made.
