Brimstone & Treacle

1982 R 1h 27m 6.4

A strange young man has a sinister effect on the family of a middle-aged writer.

This is a modern gothic tale about the evil that men do and the price that must be paid to make things right. This movie is a remake of Brimstone and Treacle (1976), which included Denholm Elliott in its original cast as Mr. Tom Bates. This movie also included an incredibly cool soundtrack of songs by artists like The Go-Go's, The Police, Squeeze, and an irreverently stylish 1930s little diddy called "Spread a Little Happiness", performed by Sting by himself.
