Don't listen to the negative reviews

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This film consists of a couple episodes from the British TV series "Journey to the Unknown" (1968)--'Poor Butterfly' (episode 1.6) and 'The Indian Spirit Guide' (episode 1.11). I have no idea if the rest of the episodes were any good, but the two used to make this full-length film were pretty good.'Poor Butterfly' is the first segment and like the other it's introduced by Sebastian Cabot. It's probably the better of the two and, interestingly, stars an American (Chad Everett) living in the UK. Out of the blue, he receives an invitation to a posh society party--though he has never met the host. Despite this, he attends this costume party--and very weird things happen.'The Indian Spirit Guide' is about a woman (Julie Harris--another American) whose husband died and she's trying to contact him through various psychics. However, again and again, her male friend exposes the psychics as frauds. But how he knows they are fake and why he delights in exposing them is something you'll have to learn about yourself--suffice to say, he gets his in the end! Both episodes are spooky and involve nice twists. While neither is brilliant, both are good and make for decent viewing. Well acted, written and directed by Hammer Films--the same folks responsible for a bazillion horror movies of the era.

Don't be deceived by the seemingly leisurely pace of "The Indian Spirit Guide," written by Rober Bloch and the second of two episodes strung together from an old UK anthology series. It ends with a bang, and when I say a bang, I mean just that. Over. Finis. Shock time. Fade to black, ;eaving the viewer stunned. A widow (the marvelous Julie Harris of "The Haunting" fame) wants to contact her dead husband, and enlists the aid of a suave detective (Tom Adams, best known for playing James Bond-types from time to time). She pays him to attend various seances and visit various mediums and psychics, to determine if they are legit. Of course, they're all fake. Or are they? Adams decides he might as well marry the old girl and take her for all she's worth. If only he hadn't been so greedy. The final seance, where the detective gets more than he bargained for, is a a doozy and quite suspenseful. This is classic 1960s television. clearly inspired by "The Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery."

This is one of the 'best' mystery series I've ever watched! I saw it once way back in the seventies and have looked for it ever since. Chad Everett is very convincing in his role in this film. The film has an air of romance as well as mystery and suspense. I've searched movie books and TV Guide issues for years attempting to find this movie again but to no avail until I was able to locate it online. Since the film is British that would explain why I've had such trouble finding it since I live in America. Now I just have to see if I can still buy it somehow because I long to watch it again after all these years. Maybe I can find it somehow.

Hammer's short-lived supernatural series Journey to the Unknown (produced by Anthony Hinds) only lasted about four months. 20th Century Fox acquired the hour-long episodes for American release and paired several of the episodes together and released them to both theaters and later to TV. This one contains "Poor Butterfly," directed by Alan Gibson, and "The Indian Spirit Guide," directed by Roy Ward Baker. For some reason original series hostess Joan Crawford has been dropped from the proceedings and instead we get pudgy, bearded charmer Sebastian Cabot, who briefly pops in to warn us, "You'll pray for morning!" In "Poor Butterfly," Steven Miller (Chad Everett), an American businessman in London, receives an invitation for an unknown source for a costume party out in the county. He can't figure out who invited him or why, but travels to Measham House, a secluded manor that seems to be stuck in some kind of time freeze. There he falls for Rose (Susan Broderick), a young, frightened beauty dressed in a butterfly costume. She wants him to take her back to London with him, but various guests say "I don't think they'll let her come with you." The next morning, Steve discovers why. The highly predictable story involves romance, jealousy, an attack with a croquet mallet, ghosts and reincarnation.The better segment is Roy Ward Baker's "The Indian Spirit Guide," which was scripted by Robert Bloch. Jerry Crown (Tom Adams), a hard up private eye having a hard time paying the bills, gets hooked up with wealthy, grieving widow Leona Gillings (Julie Harris), who wants to contact Howard, her late husband of fifteen years. Jerry specializes in uncovering bogus psychics, such as a man in drag (!) using tape recorders and lighting tricks and a turban-wearing Oriental mystic at "The House of Chandu," who uses a floating trumpet on strings gimmick. Seeing an easy, vulnerable target in Leona, Jerry decides to romance, marry and then kill her for her money. But there's one more psychic that needs to be defrauded; Sarah Prinn (Catherine Lacey), one of Howard's close friends, who works through an Indian spirit guide called Bright Arrow (Julian Sherrier). Will Bright Arrow be able to warn Leona in time that she's in grave danger? Both tales are just mildly entertaining and received a TV-G rating on cable (suitable for children).
