Death Line - 1972 - 6/10
He wandered around Soho, soaking up the atmosphere.
Later, in the Underground, he tried to pick up a piece of flash.
Before he disappeared.
Police are vaguely interested, until MI5 (Christopher Lee) warns them off.
Then the coppers dig in. Donald Pleasence, delicious as the sarcastic, bitter inspector.
The real star, however, in the Underground. Forgotten and abandoned sections.
Dim patches with flickering gas lamps. Eerie, unnerving liminal spaces.
Slow, creepy, gruesome, pungent. Should beckon to fans of Mark Samuels.
