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... read more
Something of a missed opportunity for Hammer this has much higher production values than their previous efforts and uses some pretty well known actors from the 70's in one of their last hurrahs. Unfortunately despite their best efforts to create their own version of 'Rosemary's B... read more
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.

Before today I was a Hammer virgin, now having experienced it for the first time I feel...pretty much the same as I did yesterday. This is a perfectly okay soft-core porn, horror movie that co-stars a hilarious devil-baby-handpuppet-thing. It was fun to see a novelist battling th... read more

Great up until the final scene. That ruins almost the entire flick. :( But nevertheless, Chris Lee is quite awesome! And yes, it does have the lines of dialogue sampled for Super Charger Heaven. Hell yeah. 8)
Fun, bloody, sexy nonsense from the great Hammer studios. This was their last major release and you can tell that they were behind the times in terms of the kind of horror stories that were being told in '76. Still, Kinski is at her hottest and Lee is at his most menacing. Che... read more
Shockingly bad adaptation of the Wheatley novel.
Hammer goes out with a bang. Not a classic, but enjoyable.
an odd curtain call for Hammer because, despite the presence of stalwart actor Christopher Lee, it is not like most Hammer horror films
