This film is almost completely forgotten and unknown, and it certainly isn't an undiscovered classic, but it does have many good points. Young Christopher Plummer is hot and bilingual, and younger Karen Black looks pretty lush and less cross-eyed than usual. This was shot in Montreal and actually intended to be Montreal, so there's some Quebecois French in there to make this a little more interesting than your average film. The story is told non-linearly, alternating between her storyline leading up to her tragic end (not a spoiler) and Plummer, the cop investigating her death. The whole Satanic cult angle is a plus if you're a fan of that kind of horror, and while this is no Rosemary's Baby it does keep you interested. If you're going through a Canadian horror checklist, you've got to check this one out (though be advised, it's a lot more suspense thriller than pure horror, and it's not gory). ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE DVD release of obscure Canadian occult mystery *by E***# on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on March 6, 2004* This DVD is of a little-known film made in Montreal in the early 1970s, starring a very young and beautiful Karen Black, Christopher Plummer and Quebec actor Donald Pilon. This film was often shown on TV in Canada throughout the 70s, and although I cannot call it a great movie, it does have a certain atmospheric quality to it which has stuck in my mind all these years.This movie is one of a host of films that came out at around this time (see also: "The Devil's Rain", "Race With the Devil", "The Omen", "The Sentinel", etc.) which, influenced by the success of such films as Rosemary's Baby and especially The Exorcist, dealt with the theme of Satanism.Police detective Plummer and his partner Pilon are called to the murder case of prostitute Black. We flash back to Black's final days, as clues gradually lead the detectives to a Satanic cult.Plummer is good as the detective but the real star here is Black, who has never been more radiant, and who also sings the movie's hauntingly etherial theme song.It's a pity that the DVD transfer of this film is so bad, because I really do like this film and would otherwise have given it 3 stars.But unfortunately the money-grubbing DVD-making people at Beverly Wilshire were so cheap they did not even bother to do what most el-cheapo DVD release companies do when releasing a movie with a picture screen ratio wider than a conventional TV screen, which is to pan and scan. Instead, they merely went and squeezed the entire wider image into the smaller screen, thus giving us a movie of long, thin "stick people". Such lazyness is absolutely INEXCUSABLE, and I wish there were some way to punish these people who are obviously out to cheat the unsuspecting public.I guess the only real method to punish them we have at our disposal is to withhold our hard-earned money, so I would strongly advise you NOT to buy this DVD.--Which is a real pity, because this film does deserve to be seen, and if you've viewed and enjoyed the other films I've mentioned above, chances are you will probably like this one too. I can only hope that someone will someday rerelease this again in a proper DVD version, giving the film the respect it deserves. In the meantime, this film was also previously released on video, so if you scrounge around you may be able to find yourself a copy. This is what I will now have to do. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Near classic subtle horror film *by M***I on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 7, 2013* The film opens with Christopher Plummer as a detective investigating the death of prostitute Karen Black. The film switches back and forth from Plummer's investigation to flashbacks of what happened to Karen Black and how she ended up being killed. The detective realizes that she was the victim of a satanic cult. This is a very suspenseful and incredibly well acted and directed film. This has plot and character and not blood, gore and monsters. There is in fact very little horror in the film. It could pass as a detective murder thriller except at the end. In the confrontation between the detective and the head of the cult, the head of the cult tells the detective several things, such as what the detective was thinking when his wife was killed in an accident, that he could only have learned from a supernatural source. Karen Black's character, a wayward Catholic, redeems herself towards the end. By current standards it might be considered slow but I found it very involving. I was surprised to find out what a pyx is, and I was raised Catholic. Leonard Maltin give this 3.5 stars and it deserves it. I don't know why this film is not better know. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/26190829-the-pyx](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/26190829-the-pyx) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
