There's a murder attempt in the opening scene - a man watching a news story about astronauts is bludgeoned - and then, as the victim lies in hospital, an investigation is launched which reveals in flashbacks from the man's life the queer paranormal context of the crime, in this gripping 1978 film, part science-fiction, part police procedural, and part supernatural thriller with Richard Burton beautifully playing the tortured central character both sympathetic and terrifying, like a grown-up Damien.
