One of the scariest movies of the century!!!, 25 October 1998
9/10
Author: GARGOYLE-3 from Torino, Italy

With a superb performance by both Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, this chilling film by Freddie Francis is absolutely a must see by harcore horror fans. An original cruel Gothic tale about a scientist who discovers the skeleton of a prehistoric man who appears to be the evil itself... A show which will be printed on your mind for the rest of your life...
