Writer David Seltzer's plane was struck by lightening; a plane Gregory Peck was due to have flown on crashed killing all on board; director Richard Donner's hotel was bombed by the IRA - a curse?
In this ground-breaking, chilling horror classic, Gregory Peck gives a wonderfully tragic performance as the US Ambassador to Great Britain who, through a series of horrific events, comes to believe that his five-year-old son (Harvey ) is the Antichrist. First-rate special effects (for the time) and an impressive supporting cast including David Warner, Patrick Troughton, Lee Remick and the creepy Billie Whitelaw all make this a believable and truly haunting film. Don't miss.
