CASTING THE RUNES 1978 (SINISTER CINEMA)

Very well made for British TV horror film.

Based on the M.R. James story of the same name, which by the way is the same tale from which "Curse Of The Demon" was derived from.

A young man is found torn apart in an open field and a young female TV producer investigates. She finds that a mysterious man named Karswell might be responsible and to her horror finds that he has passed an ancient paper to her and she is also slated to die.

Iain Cuthbertson is excellent as Karswell and Jan Francis is Prudence Dunning, the next victim. The story build up is very well done for the 47 minute TV broadcast and the ending is a very cleaver one indeed.

I don't want to say too much here as I think every horror fan should actually check out this little gem. Leave it to Sinister to bring out this unseen jewel.

Highly Recommended.
