Alan (Brian Deacon) breaks into an abandoned church that's about to be
demolished with his girlfriend Kim (Carol Royle) with the sole purpose of
proposing to her - but instead she is brutally murdered by a red-robed
man called Martin (Peter Wyngarde), and Alan starts having memories
of a former incarnation of his from 1649, when his former self opposed a
group of Satanists led by Martin. In the here and now though, he's the
prime and only suspect for his girlfriend's murder, and he is ultimately
arrested.
As a matter of fact, quite a few unexplained murders have been
happening in the abandoned church, so researcher Caroline (Barbi Benton)
and demolition-supervisor Peter (Gareth Hunt) form an uneasy alliance to
investigate the whole affair, and find out that the church once housed a
bunch of Satanists led by Martin, and that they all were either burned to
death or walled in - but it seems that the demolition has set them free
again.
Ultimately, Alan escapes captivity - and just in time too, since a
certain army general who turns out to be the reincarnation of Martin, is presently
inspecting the destruction site ... but Alan arrives just in time to throw
him through a brick wall and kill him - when another reborn Satanist
(Richard Hampton) blows up the site ...
Mediocre horror story, not too bad on the plot level (if you can look
past the implausibilities inherent to the genre), but by and large lacking
thrills and excitement, instead treating the viewer with lengthy scenes of
investigations. Still, there are (far) worse horror films out there.
