There's a nice mash-up of 'The Thing,' period gothic and The Beyond of all things. There's some leaps of logic to be sure but the uniqueness of the film itself helps smooth over these rough patches. I can't help but feel though that the entire cast is underutilized. It leaves you wanting more but I feel it's a bit in a good way.

Such a loopy movie, with real WTF moments...and such fun. Lee and Cushing alone make this a pleasurable experience.

lol

Pretty damn cool with tons of cult acting legends.

Fine cast and intriguing concept but ultimately too cheesy

Decent Sci Fi horror.

Attractive countess and all, I wouldn't waste my time with this crap (and yet I did. Oh well...)

Great, campy and gory 70s horror flick that features two classic horror movie actors, Lee and Cushing, vs an alien creature that uses humans as hosts. Sort of like "The Thing" meets "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with zombies on a train, set in Russia. The ending features weirded out, trippy and outlandish Pink Floyd-ish music.

"...one of the most entertaining and well-plotted horror films of the 1970s..."

Immensely entertaining chiller. Pete and Chris excel as rival scientists, while Telly Savalas cameos as an overbearing Cossack in a pic rich in characterization and period flavor (if not in budget), offering everything from trepanning close-ups to mad monks to brain-drained zombies. Not to be missed.
