6/10
Author: ma-cortes

This eerie film is developed in an ancient and isolated castle.A just married couple arrive to home of their grandparents during wedding night.The fiancé Charles Fengriffen(Ian Ogilvy)and his fiancée(Stephanie Beacham) aren't aware about the curse by terrible events occurred at past time and mysterious deeds are actually happening .In 1795 Silas,a young man who worked in stables attempts avoid the violation of his young wife by the noble Fengriffen(Herbert Lom).During the taking off between the noble landowner and the flunky is severed the hand of Silas. Onetime dead the noble,the vengeful spirit returns the castle,the revenge will be with the successors of tyrant Fengriffin.The severed hand goes back to torment the young couple,they are caught up by ominous ghost and become inextricably involved in weird killings with several corpses .They will confront against the mysterious evil force and legacy of horror of the Frengriffen family.Then Peter Cushing shows up to investigate at whatever risk .

This Amicus production(Max Rosenberg and Milton Subotsky)is a good terror film with malevolent spectres and family curses and with amazing final surprise.The movie is plenty of grisly murders tension,terror,genuine screaming,horrible chills and a little bit of blood and gore.The picture packs a creepy atmosphere and strange color by the cinematographer Dennis Cop.The casting is frankly well,appear various awesome British actors,as always excellent Peter Cushing,Patrick McGee,Guy Rolfe and the habitual villain Herbert Lom. The tale is rightly directed by Roy War Baker who realized magnificent terror films(Quatermass and the pit). Motion picture will like to British horror enthusiastic.
