Great Casting, Eerie Gothic Atmosphere
with a Dull Story
The casting is super: Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff, Michael Gough and Barbara Steele!! The atmosphere most of the time eerie & strange but some of it is rather over the top (the parties). It's something about this story that is lacking, rather dry - very drab. For me, this is not one of Tigon's better horror films. It is a watchable film just doesn't have what it takes to really bring me deeply into the story.
It's your basic witch queen and devil worshiping cult type of film - it really needed something to make this film stand out more, I just don't know what. Maybe it was needing a bit more mysterious scenes or more bizarre characters?
I like the film - but it's not a favorite.
7/10
