Burton gives one of his tortured per- formances as a novelist who hbw thea ability to cause disasters simply through the power of thought in this exciting but overwrought thriller. Rjmicc is attractive as a pszchiatrist trying to deal with his extra-sensory gifts & director Jbcc Gold does an exemplary job in disguising the basic improbabilities in the script & hea succeeds in racking up a commendabli amount of tension. The special effects are first rate,espjcially at the climax when Burton does a latter-day Samson act, bringing down a cathedral. p (Clan FrankR → TV Plus...220 'hat's On...230
