Product Description

Beware his deathly gaze for it will render you powerless! Beware his mystic touch for you will never be free from his evil grasp!

In pre-revolution St Petersburg, Russia, sinister monk Grigori Rasputin proves that he has the unearthly power to ease the deranged and heal the sick, but at what price?

3.0 out of 5 starsNot one of Hammer's Best
By E. A. Redfearn VINE VOICE on 30 Dec. 2004
Format: DVD
Made back to back with Dracula Prince of Darkness, using the same sets, and most of the same actors, it was made on the cheap, and looks it too. Historically, its a duff. Entertainment wise, its not bad. The story covers the emergence of Rasputin into Romanov society before the Russian Revolution. The script is rather weak, but the fine actors do carry it though. Christopher Lee made a great effort in his role as Rasputin. Francis Matthews; Dinsdale Landen and Richard Pasco play the conspirators who finally kill Rasputin believing his influence on the Tsarina could lead to the downfall of the Romanovs which of course does happen in 1917. In supporting roles are two lovely Hammer actresses Barbara Shelley and Suzan Farmer who were also in Dracula Prince of Darkness. Overall, its not a bad effort. It has enough material to while away an evening, but dont expect any shocks though. Picture and sound arent too bad on DVD. However, as far as extras are concerned, there are none whatsoever. Still, its cheap enough to buy, and maybe if you are a die hard Hammer fan, am sure you will add this to your collection.

3.0 out of 5 starsInferior Audio
By tangerinewolf on 30 Oct. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Yes, I agree with the previous customer regarding the poor audio for this otherwise fine release of Rasputin The Mad Monk by Studio Canal. The picture quality is great, certainly the best I've ever seen for this awesome Hammer Film, but the audio, well it gets NO stars, which reduces my rating of the overall package to three stars. It sounds like they did nothing to the audio in the remastering process! It sounds bland, two much treble and no bass. Of course this is most noticable with the musical soundtrack. What can be done to improve the audio is limited with these 1960's films, but this one falls way short of the work that went into Canal's blu ray releases of Dracula Prince of Darkness and Plague of the Zombies. From the very opening of the 20th Century Fox fanfare, this one sounded like something was very wrong. It, of course, sounds worse playing through a full theater system.

I can't believe Canel carelessly released it this way. There are even very noisy parts [like an old 78 rpm record] noticable here and there throughout the disc; and in writing this review I haven't yet listened to the audio commentaries or other extras. As for a replacement release--well I hope so. I've never been involved in having to request one. By the way this audio problem exists, to a lesser extent, on their same day release of The Mummy's Shroud.

2.0 out of 5 starsThis is a recall...audio is all top end.
By Gizmotron on 1 Nov. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
The decade old Anchor Bay release of this title on DVD has superior audio, that's all there is to it. This is not a sublte difference. There has been a tranfser error clearly. Please note the picture is superp,...stunning! I know we all appreciate any effort to get Hammer Films onto a consumer format that allows us to view the films in the highest quality possible. Whoever did the dvd authoring needs to make good on this. Hammer Films has paid for a product that is faulty. We know the Dracula Prince of Darkness Blu-ray had sync issues, it appears this is the same outfit that created that problem (and made good on it with a recall) so this is looking like a trend. Hammer Films/Amazon please take note and issue a recall.

2.0 out of 5 starsAudio botched on this release - product recall
By A.S NEILSON on 30 Oct. 2012
Format: Blu-ray
The audio on this release has been botched, I'm afraid, and this disc should be recalled. The problems may not be noticeable to those watching through TV speakers but this comparison between an old DVD and the new release illustrates the difference:

[...]

Once you have a comparison, you can hear that something has gone badly wrong, with no bass present at all. The new transfer sounds like it's playing on a transistor radio. Hammer themselves have a youtube clip of the main titles, which sounds bassy and full, so this was obviously an error in encoding. Despite being an otherwise good product, I can't recommend it for this reason.

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat Blu Ray image transfer but.....
By Adrian Drew TOP 500 REVIEWER on 28 Oct. 2012
Format: Blu-ray
Christopher Lee gives a bravura performance, which should please both his, and Hammer film fans, however, after the rather disappointing recent BD releases of The Curse of Frankenstein, the much criticised CGI "enriched" version of The Devil Rides Out, and the original problems with Dracula Prince of Darkness, you would have thought Hammer would have ensured that this transfer would prove totally uncontroversial - and on my initial scan of the disc it seemed to be. However...

Although the sound is the original mono audio, and is theoretically presented in uncompressed PCM - there may be coding problems as several people have felt that it does not have the depth of the original DVD audio. I did not really notice this initially as I was more concerned with the image quality, but have now had a proper listen and they are absolutely right. The dynamic range seems faulty with weak base elements, particularly in the early sections of the film. So beware, in case there is a product
re-call. However the video at least is a clean and detailed transfer, with good depth of colour etc presented in an unmatted 2.55:1 version - although it was actually designed to be shown in the 2.35 CinemaScope format. Shame about the sound. It's weird that Hammer seem to have shot themselves in the foot four times in a row.

Extras include:
Tall Stories: The Making of Rasputin The Mad Monk with Denis Meikle, the author of A History of Horrors and Jonathan Rigby, author of Christopher Lee: The Authorised Screen History and Andrew Cook, author of To Kill Rasputin. The legendary Barbara Shelley, and Francis Matthews, also provide some background together with David Huckvale, author of Hammer Film Scores and the Musical Avant-Garde who discusses the music.Read more ›
