Classic. Total precursor for Lee for THE WICKER MAN.
Really good¡ kinda slow
Nothing to dislike here, but also nothing incredible. Loved the opening scene and any part with Christopher Lee obv.
This is under the 'Folk Horror' category, but it's far from it. It was filmed entirely on a soundstage and it's only connection to the genre is old World England and Witchcraft, but the whole soundstage thing kills it for me. But Christopher Lee is awesome, as usual.
It is a product of its time. Christopher Lee never fails to please, but he could have been put to better use than in this one.
