Full Circle (1977)

Another tour de force performance following Rosemary's Baby and See No Evil from Mia Farrow as a woman under duress. This slow moving and atmospheric take on the Peter Straub novel is subtly directed by Richard Loncraine who envelops us in Farrow's world of weird as she moves into a new home in a grey and depressing mid seventies London following the death of her daughter and finds herself at the mercy of the vengeful spirit of a young girl.

As with the aforementioned Farrow vehicles, here we are once more relying on Mia to carry proceedings, in fact more so, and your enjoyment will come from how much you can invest in her one woman showcase of distress.

There are one or two shocks along the way but this could be seen as either plodding and dull or fascinatingly morbidly ambient depending on your mood. Think Don't Look Now set in London and you won't go far wrong.
