'A Place To Die' saw Thriller dipping heavily into the supernatural world with a reasonably gripping tale of devil worship and sacrifice.
Alexandra Hay plays Tessa Nelson who, along with her doctor husband, Bruce are the new arrivals into a rural village. Almost immediately we see that the locals are in a kind of mystic awe in Tessa's presence and gradually make her feel welcome while covertly discussing her satanic potential amongst themselves. To them she is 'The Lady', a chosen disciple who will give them unlimited powers.
Tessa soon grows wary of the constant attention and when she happens upon a bunch of unposted letters written by the previous doctor while outline in no uncertain terms the nature of the villagers beliefs, the tension is upped considerably.
The villagers are not dissimilar to those in 'The Wicker Man' and are somewhat caricatured - although Lila Kaye's Bess is enjoyable to watch. An interesting tale but somewhat overblown.
