Horror Vault's take

When a man is found near death under mysterious circumstances in London, a determined French detective begins piecing together the victim's shadowy past through journals and the testimony of his psychiatrist. What emerges is a deeply unsettling portrait of a man who may possess a terrifying and uncontrollable mental power. The investigation builds with slow-burn dread as the boundary between the extraordinary and the catastrophic becomes horrifyingly thin. This late-seventies British chiller trades monster-movie spectacle for a cold, intelligent menace all its own.
