I loved watching this as a kid on Saturdays when they played this on TV during the 70s. The monk with the red eyes freaked me out the most as he looked like an evil Jesus.

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.

Ah, finally. I watched this as a kid 25 years ago, but later in life I couldn't by the life of me remember the title. I remember the white eyes creeping me out back then.

I totally agree! Lee and Cushing are great as always. Telly "Hams" his role to perfection. It has a very good suspenseful ending. The red eyes are scary. Just the right pace for a horror movie.

Telly waking up from the dead is even creepier now that's he's really dead
This equals the Chris Lee Draculas , hell it's BETTER than some of them

It's amazing not only how popular this little, somewhat low budget movie is, but how well it has held up over the years. I got it on DVD for a dollar, (I had watched it before), & I was very pleased to see it still holds up nicely even now.
For what it is, it's a perfectly made little movie. It sets out to scare & is likely one of the best horror films ever made.

This was a Sataruday afternoon classic growing up in the early 80s. I would put it in the top 10 horror films of the 70's. Great atmosphere. Needs a decent dvd release with a much better transfer.

I agree. This film is flat-out fantastic. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were both terrific in the leads while Telly Savalas was gloriously hammy in his regrettably brief role.

I'm currently watching this for the second time and I concur; it's absolutely wonderful. Totally a product of its time, it's a Spanish horror version of the "spaghetti western." "Paella spooky" doesn't have the same ring, but there you are.
Whatever, a splendid Cushing/Lee collaboration and not to be missed.

I watched this long ago on Super Channel. It must have been in the late 80s.
I just watched it again yesterday, and its still holds up. What a brilliant horror movie that have stood the test of time. The actors are great and the music is used in such a way they dont do in modern movies.

I first saw this on late night tv as a kid. I watched it again a few years ago and it is a really good horror movie. Great acting, story, suspense and music.

I just watched this and really enjoyed it. It was creepy with an interesting monster. And watching Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing both playing good guys was quite a treat.
And hey, even Telly Savalas joins in.
So many stories, so little time.
