    Devil-worshipping children in 17th-century England cause monstrous havoc for their local village community in this super-stylish supernatural shocker with a strong period flavour. More sensational, violent and crude than its obvious model Witchfinder General, Piers Haggard's tense direction keeps the cauldron of fiendish orgies, demonic tortures and Linda Hayden's sultry turn as the devil's advocate bubbling at an even terror temperature until the Satanic slow-motion climax. Vintage British horror at its lip-smacking, exploitative best.

    • Radio Times
  • Moderately frightening, rather silly but at least original period horror comic.

    Surprisingly good for early 70s british horror

    Good cinematography and well acted. Use of locations and an original film score help to create an atmosphere that raises this above the usual Hammer horror fare. Let down a bit by a story that isn't fully developed.
