PLOT SUMMARY

Twins Jacki and Julian find themselves hopelessly out of their depth in swinging London when they fall foul of debt-ridden gambler Clive. The twins are soon embroiled in a blackmail plot that gets seriously - and terrifyingly - out of hand.

CAPSULE REVIEW

One of the most unusual, rewarding and hauntingly memorable films to have emerged from Britain's urban horror boom of its classic 65-75 period, boastand an outstanding soundtrack. Almost impossible to see nowadays but well worth the effort needed to track it down. (Full Review)
