A good suspense film that fell apart.

Shockingly bad adaptation of the Wheatley novel.

Hammer goes out with a bang. Not a classic, but enjoyable.

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

an odd curtain call for Hammer because, despite the presence of stalwart actor Christopher Lee, it is not like most Hammer horror films

Personally I preferred the plot of this Wheatley adaptation to The Devil Rides Out. The high production standards mean that the special effects are less amusing - but at times there is a lack of atmosphere, meaning that the melodramatic nature of the plot/acting can feel a little silly. I rather liked the finale, though it was anti-climatic.

The end of the Hammer horror era, this film, based on a Dennis Wheatley novel, is definitely one of their best efforts. There is a strong cast and a serious approach with the pace, action and occult intrigue that you would expect from a Wheatley story. PS. Should be very popular with fans of Nastassja Kinski.
