IN POSSESSION, the second of the three Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense TV films on this disc, scared the hell out of me when I first saw it courtesy of a Brent Walker videotape back in the late 80s. I'm glad to say its lost none of its spooky appeal, and proves that Hammer really could replicate the appeal of the big screen on the small. Hardly ever seen since its original screening this is a lovely release and well worth seeing. The other stories are great fun too! Recommended.
This is a bonus disk, and doesn't have any episodes from the series. What it does contain are photo-galleries and interviews.
