  • 4 stars out of 5

    Voodoo rituals in 18th-century Cornwall disguise a savage indictment of the British class system in a superior Hammer horror with a strong plotline. It's John Gilling's best work, and his tight direction and ultra-stylish visuals build the tension most effectively. Especially memorable moments include the green-tinted dream sequence, where churchyard corpses are resurrected, and a quite stunning decapitation scene. A vintage bloodcurdler from Hammer's golden era.

    Strange But True

    One of the greatest films of all time also serves to accurately document modern life in Cornwall. Superstitious, bumpkins nervous of outsiders remind me of time I spent there on holiday. While Sir James Forbes is probably one of the greatest heroes in fiction. Inspired.
