Written and produced by Hammer Horror stalwart Anthony Hinds (aka John Elder). Nice costumes. As a horror film, this is much tamer than the Christopher Lee Dracula films, or, say, Vampire Circus. Not scary at all. I would have given it a higher rating, but the special effects at the end were of such low quality that they ruined the rest of the film.
6/10

I think it is alright---good to give Cushing and Lee a rest from the vampire films. The ending suggests black magic was used to defeat black magic. The professor probably damned his soul by doing that but I guess he didn't care considering his daughter's fate.
In some ways it echos The Devil Rides Out--the same idea--a cult that sucks in an outsider and using the Devil against his followers.
