This is a classic TV horror film from 1973. I remember seeing it when I was 10 and have loved it ever since. The memory was fading on this film until I saw it again just a few days ago. I know it has aired on TNT a few times, but I don't watch TV at all.
Roy Thinnes is a man who has brought with him an alter from an ancient abby. It is stored in the cargo hold and soon the evil from within starts to come alive and wants out.
The evil is very cold and freezes a dog in the cargo hold and also one of the flight crew, played by Russell Johnson. Things get worse as the true supernatural powers of the abby are fully realized.
The cast includes Buddy Ebson, Chuck Conners as the pilot, Tammy Grimes, Paul Winfield as a doctor, William Shatner as an ex priest and many more familiar faces. This is low buget yes, but it is a hell of a lot of fun. Directed by David Lowell Rich, the pace slowly builds and then erupts into total evil by the end of the film.
I liked it a lot. I am very grateful to Paramount for finally bringing this out to DVD. If you like Made for TV horror you shouldn't miss this.
