    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)ck it out.

    Evil Sender (anyone get the reference?) stars in his final Hammer horror flick. A cloistered nun returns to spend some time with her father on her 18th (?!) birthday. Her father is actually part of a Satanic cult and the priest who runs the nunnery is the Satanic leader. They try...( read more) to have the young nun bare Satan's child and her father's friend tries to stop it. Some good lines in this nunsploitation horror-suspense such as, "98 percent of all so-called Satanists are nothing more than pathetic freaks who get their kicks dancing naked in freezing churchyards, and who use the Devil as an excuse,? but generally not that great. Borrows some from The Exorcist. As a whole, this is a good example of what makes 70s horror rather poopy.

    On aurait préféré que la Hammer finisse en beauté...

    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) silly. I rather liked the finale, though it was anti-climatic.

    A gritty horror film, with very high production standards. It is quite unlike the majority of Hammer offerings, and hints at what could have been had the studio continued with theatrical releases. The cast is perfect, with Christopher Lee delivering one of his best and most inte...( read more)nse performances of his career (which is saying something!). The film is highly suspenseful, and the narrative keeps the viewer guessing until the end. Alas, only the creature effects let the film down - but they do so in a major way, breaking the tension rather than contributing to it. Thankfully they are in very few scenes, but the film would have done well to have avoided them altogether (which would have been easily possible).

    Satanic movies are fun.

    Not interested. I usually avoid horror movies.

    Hammer's third stab at adapting Dennis Wheatley to the screen, the others being The Devil Rides Out and Unchartered Seas(filmed as The Lost Continent).
    Its actually a pretty good attempt, only let down by the glove puppet monster and a weak ending.
    Richard Widmark is excellent as...( read more) world weary occult novelist John Verney, who is drawn into a diabolical conspiracy to ressurect an aincient dark power, when he agrees to look after a friends daughter. The film is carried by his performance. Denholm Elliot also impresses.
