A Name For Evil

A bizarre and unsuccessful mixture of midlife crisis melodrama and out-and-out horror, this film is about upwardly mobile architect Culp who suddenly quits his high paying job and drags wife Eggar off to the wilds of Canada. They move into his great-great-granddaddy's spooky old mansion which, of course, is haunted. The ghost happens to be a dashing specter on a white horse and he soon seduces Eggar. Having to compete with a phantom for his wife's affections doesn't suit Culp, so he wanders off into the mountains and into the arms of a willing local lass. One must wonder why actors as talented as Culp and Eggar keep turning up in junk like this.
