Anyone seen this? Just watched it on DVD. Something is murdering residents on a remote Scottish island and mutilating the bodies. It has a real Philip Hinchcliffe-era Doctor Who feel to it with added horror. Not surprising since it's written by Robert Holmes and directed by Douglas Camfield. I really enjoyed it.

yeah, I came across it on youtube a few years ago it was the Robert Holmes connection that got my interest.  Remember the first episode as being an atmospheric cracker the last being a bit mmmm. Keep meaning to rewatch it again. Young Celia Imrie in it too if I remember correctly. I agree really does have a Hinchcliffe feel to it. Could easily have  been adapted into a Who episode during his reign.
