4.0 out of 5 stars Great Cast! Great Psychedelic Camerawork! Good Mystery!, 25 Mar 2005
By S. E Hand "boleskine1" (Tallahassee, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Do yourself a favor and check this title out. The cast is really good. The movie has some creepy graveyard scenes complete with dense fog. Altogether a mystery of sorts. Barbara Steele looks superb in her green makeup and costume. Karloff is a real gas! Check out his man-servant Clive. Lee and Karloff's scenes together are very well done. Some really tripped out sound effects complement some dazzling optical effects throughout, they are real treats. Overall not the bomb it is made out to be. A fun and a solid mystery. A few creepy scenes. Includes a good interview with Lee which is pretty informative. A minor classic!

The soundtrack/music/dialog/ suffers a bit from top end clipping. The image is anamorphic 16x9 but is not taken from a negative or interpositve. Looks to be a pretty clean theatrical print. It is as good as it has looked since the release, so get a copy now. If Anchorbay or Blue Underground get it they may be able to secure a better print.

Warning: Current MTV generation Avoid! Does not contain CGI effects, mindless dance music, jumpy editing and a politicaly correct message.

3.0 out of 5 stars Curse Of The All Star Cast, 22 Aug 2008
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett "vampire lover" (Dracula's Crypt) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The cast list is very impressive-Christopher Lee,Boris Karloff, Michael Gough, Rupert Davies and Barbera Steele. It reads like a whos who of horror films. The plot is intriguing. An antiques dealer, played by a young Mark Eden travels to the place of his anscestors, when he recieves a mysterious note from his brother, who has subsequently dissapeared. He arrives during celebrations to mark the anniversary of the burning of a local witch, and soon uncovers all sorts of sinister goings on, whilst staying as a guest at the house of one of the Witches descendants.
However, its all a bit of a mess. Theres lots of running around to little purpose, and the ending is extremely dissapointing. It is of course an enjoyable mess, as the cast all equip themselves admirably with the material. Karloff must be given special praise, for he spends the majority of the film confined to a wheelchair, but still towers over the rest of the cast. Michael Gough also does well in a thankless role.
I think its the sort of film that you have to be in a certain forgiving mood to enjoy. Don't expect too much, just enjoy the performances.
