Rating: 5.0
Hammer Great
This marvellous film is one of Hammers best ever. Really only Dracula and The Hound of the Baskervilles are in the same league.Christopher Lee plays the Duc De Richeau with the same passion he plays normally plays bad guys. Charles Gray is excellent as Mocata, the leader of the devil worshipers. Other noteable British actors that you will know are Patrick Mower and Paul Eddington.The director is Terence Fisher who consistently proved himself to be the best Hammer director. The film is gripping and if the special effects look very primitive now you should not let it detract from what is otherwise a great film.This edition has a commentary by Christopher Lee and others which is quite fascinating and well worth getting. Even without the commentary this is still an essential purchase for Hammer and/or horror fans.
