I used to have this on tape

It's hard to believe that no one has commented on this. Jane Badler (fresh off of 'V') was great in this somewhat dark tale of an affluent family involved in the occult. It's been years since I've seen this but as I've stated in other postings: I lost nearly 100% of my VHS tapes in a flood and everyday I regret never making duplicates of these TV treasures...But the thing I do remember about the film is that it aired on broadcast at 90 minutes (with commercials), was completely open-ended as to leave room for the proposed series and it looked like that warped made for video slasher flick from 1987 'Epitaph' (about the sick Elizabeth Taylor look-a-like stepmother). Anyhow, maybe a fan copy will surface one day as it beats the hell out of a lot of stuff coming down the pike now.
