Product: The Devil's Bride [VHS] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
A superb film of a battle of good against extreme evil!
Hammer, known for making its B-movies look like A-Movies, releases another triumph. The movie based on Wheatley's novel, which I have not read, but am looking for, is just superb. Though some of the special effects are campy, due, of course, to the low budget of the movie, they still pull off an eerie effect for this ultimate clash between good and evil. James Bernard, once again, creates an excellent score for this fine supernatural chiller. This is a must-have for Hammer Horror fans! The casting is wonderful, though I would like to see it with Cushing in place of Lee as the Duc de Richleau, and Lee in place of Gray as Mocata. Just wonderful. If you are tired of seeing the darkside win in new horror films that leave you feeling depressed, then see this. In Hammer, good always triumphs over evil!
