The Four Seasons (1981)

 

Three couples vacation together every season. After one divorces, feelings of betrayal and more spawn criticisms of each other. But the things that keep them together are stronger than those which otherwise might pull them apart.

From memory: Mildly amusing romantic comedy is centered on the vagaries of mid-life marriage; good cast and interesting premise, but otherwise not very exciting.

Halliwell**: "Rueful sexual comedy which maintains considerable momentum and actually makes us laugh at its sympathetic characters."

Maltin***: "As comedy it scores, with warmly winning cast, but like its main character, it prfesses to discuss serious issues while pulling back after just touching the surface." 

 

Something Evil (1972)

A young couple moves into a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania, but they don't know that there is an unseen presence in the house, and that it wants to take possession of the wife.

Above-average TV horror thriller, effectively staged with a good central performance by Sandy Dennis.

God Told Me To (1976)

 

 

A New York detective investigates a series of murders committed by random New Yorkers who claim that "God told them to."

 

A bit over-the-top and illogical horror thriller that nonetheless is an unusual and intense mixture of crime mystery and the supernatural.

Halliwell (no star): "Unsavoury mix of several genres, insufficiently well written to compel."

Maltin**1/2: "Weird, confusing shocker...Some good scenes."
