Holmes and Watson investigate, and uncover an ancient cult which is responsible for the killings. In each case, people have had terrible hallucinations and in desperate states of panic have inadvertently killed themselves. At the same time, a series of bizarre murders have been going on close to the school.

In the mid 80s, audiences were hungry for heroes in the mould of Indiana Jones. Reviewed by barnabyrudge 6 / 10 Unusual and fairly entertaining.
