THE DEMON-1979-Bill Carson
(Cameron Mitchell) is a former army colonel with ESP who is hired by
a husband and wife to find their daughter who's been abducted in
Johannesberg. Meanwhile an American teacher Mary Jones (Jennifer
Holmes) seems to be stalked by the killer who Carson described as
"out of our species". Meanwhile Mary's cousin Jo (Zoli
Marki) is dating some jerk. When Carson discovers the killer's
hideout the father goes there for revenge and is killed. The mother
thinks Carson set the whole thing up and shoots him right between the
eyes. After this, both woman go out on separate dates. The killer
murders Jo and her boyfriend and the teacher is terrorized (part of
the time topless) until she stabs the killer with scissors. The
actual reason for the killings is (with the exception that it's inane
movie making) never really explained and the story is so drawn out and boring it will have
you yawning in no time.
Top billed Cameron Mitchell doesn't have much
of a role. Writer/director Percival Rubens made a few more South
African based films with North American stars. Star Jennifer Holmes was a semi-regular on the US TV show "Newhart" after this.
