It could have been a great film if it was either shorter, or had an elaborate plot. As it is, the plot really drags, especially during the long and repetitive climax. Acting is very good; put Cushing and Lee together in a room and it lights up. Cinematography is interesting and unusual. Avant-garde score is great. Fans of demonology and witchcraft should definitely see this film.

For a 80-something minute long film, this felt very long.

Provocative, entertaining and highly well done. Peter Cushing gives it his all and really helps to sell the film along with some great direction. Highly Recommended.

After countless hours of horror in my life, this one actually scared me for some odd reason.

"...a rock solid Amicus production and a must-see for fans of that studio's work."
