Blue blood. 1974.
A butler tries to take possession of his master by means of witchcraft.
To say this was a classic is a understatement, yes it is a bit of a chiller and very weird to say the least. Oliver Reed plays Tom the butler(with a weird accent that seems to change) seems to be tired of being a gentleman's gentleman. Meg Wynn Owen plays the new nanny accused of beating her young charges and tries to blame Tom. Derek Jacobi plays the master of the house who rather be drinking, smoking and not spending time with his children while his wife is away. Some of the scenes do seem to be like a dream state but are they a dream or are they real. The acting is somewhat decent and at times do think Oliver was either drunk of upset with the director or just didn't take the film seriously.
