Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
rvcrvc I love this show, despite it all but having disappeared from the world. As a 10 year old i was freaked by this, especially in Australia where it was filmed. Bits of the shows come to mind when i try hard to remember. I am looking for copies of the scripts if anyone has them. It's time someone (maybe me) had a go at bringing it back in a modern style.) If anyone has any info they want to share, then you can get in contact with me via this site. As with others, it was Anthony Quayle, and his "Goodnight....Pleasant Dreams!" and the smoke and music that got to me. The shows weren't great by todays standards, but they were good. A lot of them wouldn't get past the censors or the "do-gooder" brigade, in some cases i guess rightly so, but mores the pity. I like this show and would love to see it again.
Christopher Moore How I wish to see this show again. On DVD preferably. It has been years and years but I can still remember the theme, and Anthony Quayles haunting "there is a touch of evil in all of us". And didnt he always wish us pleasant dreams?The only complaint I had was that they were repeated over and over, but now my only complaint is that they are NOT repeated! IT'S TIME GUYS - DUST OFF THE TINS AND SHOW IT AGAIN.I can't get that music out of my head..........ps. then there was that parrot screaming "Murderer Murderer Murderer" It was like TwighlightZone+TalesOfTheUnexpected+NightGallery all rolled into one.*Sigh* If only I'd had a video.....
Bruce Corneil As with the other contributors, I have happy memories of watching this excellent TV drama which regularly included elements of sci fi, horror and supernatural goings-on.It was stylish entertainment and having recently seen a couple of episodes again for the first time since the 70s, I'm pleased to say that it's lost nothing over the years which speaks volumes about its original quality. Just one small point ...I think you'll find that it was, in fact, an American production possibly made for (or by) the NBC Network (I may be wrong and I'd be more than happy to stand corrected). Certainly, it was shot in Sydney and featured local actors in support roles. As other contributors have correctly noted, however, virtually every episode starred an imported Hollywood lead actor and the largely Australian production crew worked under the supervision of American director Mende Brown. It could, and perhaps SHOULD, be more accurately described as an American /Australian co-production.Anyway, the final product was a highly watchable example of 70s television. Unfortunately, and sadly, it sank like a stone and disappeared quickly from the small screen. Perhaps the show's sheer sophistication may have priced it out of the mass market? Perhaps it arrived on the scene a fraction of a moment too late at a time when other quality series such as "Columbo" and "The Nightstalker" had already been given a head start ?"The Evil Touch" deserved to succeed but fate intervened.
carpenters3 The evil touch was a good tv show,corny,but good. I was once an extra in one of the episodes with Carol Lynley and Sandy Harbutt.It would be great to see it back on tv again.foxtell would be a way to see it.is there anybody else who would like to see it.Email foxtell and request it.
