Hammer House Of Horror - Episode 6 - Charlie Boy

Graham and his wife Sarah are tasked with sorting out the estate of his uncle after he dies in a freak accident. Sarah chooses a strange looking african fetish doll as a keepsake which they christen Charlie Boy. After a falling out with his brother Graham gets drunk and while looking at a photo of himself, his wife and their friends he plunges a dagger into the fetish doll in anger. This triggers a series of events that cause the death of each person in the photo until only Graham and his wife are left, but it may be too late to stop the curse as Charlie Boy gets stolen.

I've always really enjoyed this story, probably as it was the first I saw in the series so I've always had a soft spot for it. It's very entertaining and does have a couple of nice creepy moments. Charlie Boy himself is quite sinister looking and the deaths are well done. Definitely one to watch for sure. 7.5/10.
