A TV series starring Peter Falk (NBC, Sep. 1975 - May 1976).

A deceptively shabby police detective solves murders.

C+ (Okay).

They try to mix things up a little, with a lot of gimmicks. You can tell they're having fun on set, and I guess I am too, most of the time. But the foundation of the show is getting pretty wobbly.

Despite that it remains interesting throughout with a good central performance by Christopher Plummer. Set in Montreal, the mix of French and English dialogue helps create a distinct, distancing atmosphere that adds to the disquieting feels of the film. Despite its structural flaws, the slow-burn pacing and mournful atmosphere makes "The Pyx" a reasonably compelling horror mystery.… (more)

A prostitute is killed by Satanists.

The film-making is so completely awful that I literally found it depressing to watch. Sitting through it is an exhausting, miserable experience.
