Oodles of creepy atmosphere and terrific locations spoiled by bizarre attempt at American ambience with assorted British actors sporting dubious accents. We are also supposed to believe that Gig Young is able to best Olly Reed and his Straw Dogs cronies with a couple of Karate chops.

Carol Lynley is lovely (and good) Olly would be great but for that distracting accent. Best performance is by a genuinely disturbing raptor that passes for set decoration.
