Featured review
Act of murder
A young couple(Justine Lord and Anthony Bate) and their friend Tim ( John Carson), are messing around at their home - involving mild flirting between Tim and Ralph's wife( Justine Lord).
The couple have planned a house swap - but things go very wrong - they are given a bogus address and think that they are getting a West End flat with London views.
The people taking their home trash it and steal of all it's valuables - but by the time the Longmans arrive home the contents have been mysteriously restored!!
However something is wrong - Ann's beloved garden has been vandalised, the chickens and pet canary have been poisoned and on their little dog is found dead.
Slightly unusual mystery thriller with some good camera work, well-executed scenes and a creepy atmosphere, and whenever dullness threatens to engulf this programmer something happens and the performances, especially by the elegantly beautiful Justine Lord bubbles through. The ending is quite surprising.
