Spectre (1977)

This is a  horror film made for tv and was directed by Clive Donner. The stars include Robert Culp, Gig Young and John Hurt. 

A criminologist and a doctor both investigate a strange mystery, based on letters sent by a woman, who claims that her brother is dabbling in the occult. They encounter a sinister entity, and are taken on a dangerous journey to a house that was once an abbey. The residents are the two brothers and a sister, who had first contacted the criminologist. The place itself is filled with magical paintings, secrets and a curious ancient relic. 

The two main leading characters were loosely based on Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Often films made about the occult are associated with curses and supernatural events. The actor Gig Young who played the doctor, met actress Kim Schmidt during the filming of "Spectre" and they would soon marry but tragedy happened, when Young murdered her and then killed himself afterwards.

This film had a very creepy vibe and a good mystery. I rate this 9/10.
