Alone in the Dark (1982)

Quite the undiscovered little gem of a flick here.
Donald Pleasence plays psychiatrist Leo Bain, who runs a clinic called The Haven.  Ooh, Pleasence as a shrink -- there's a stretch!  But this is a completely different kind of shrink than his role as Dr. Loomis in the Halloween movies; Leo Bain will go to absurd lengths to avoid calling anyone "ultimate evil."  His philosophy is to get within his patients' (he calls them "voyagers," who just happen to be taking a different voyage from the rest of us) world and work them out, being completely accepting of them.
