Release date: 20th July 1968.
Story: Old friends Nicholas Duc de Richleau and Rex Van Ryn call upon the son of their other friend. But they find out that he is getting involve with a devil worshipping cult who are trying to recruit him. They then decided to rescue him and another recruit (a woman named Tanith) from the cult. But they are soon battling for their lives and souls from the cults leader named Mocata.
My thoughts: This is my favourite Hammer Horror movie. Christopher Lee plays a great role as the hero and Charles Gray is great as the main villain. The film was based on the novel of the same name by Dennis Wheatley and when the film was released in the USA, its name was changed to The Devil's Bride due to the fact that the American audience may mistaken it to be a Western. Two of the best scenes in the film are the ceremony scene and the scene where Nicholas and a few others battle the forces of evil and encounter the Angel of Death. This movie is a classic example of Good vs Evil and fits alongside the likes of The Exorcist and The Omen.
My score: Five Stars.
