Yeah, wow. This is like a Lovecraftian idea, totally atmospheric and creepy. These old films are like beep gold compared to the current audience-friendly ass-shat.

I agree with you on this one. This was one hell of a good movie.
The acting was good and the cast is hard to beat with Peter Cushing,Telly SAvalas and whoever it was who played that mad crazy monk (reminds me of Rasputin).
The story is great and I consider this a real classic. -

I thought Telly stole the show, for the short time he was in it.
Taking nothing away from this one, it was great, but Argento's "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" beat it to the punch, re: visual imprint in a dead eye. -

I wholeheartedly agree. This along with Mute Witness are my favorite films of all time and probably the greatest in the history of mankind and the universe. Telly Savalas as Captain Kazan was perfect!

This movie is definately one of the better horror movies of the 70's. I thought the red eyes in the dark bit was pretty damn scary. Its ashame I didnt get to see this at the movies when it came out. I would have been aboout 8 years old and this would have scared the crap out of me!

This movie certainly is fantastic - full of suspense and scares, and is acted brilliantly (with the exception of Telly Savalas). Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were at their best in this. I can't figure out why the rating (6.3) is so low though. This really is a masterpiece of British horror. I give the movie 10 out of 10.
