Lots of overacting in this movie. And some pretty cheesy special effects (especially by today's standards). And every time Charles Gray was on screen I wanted to yell out "This man has no neck!" (and if you get that reference you're my people).
Despite all that, this was a pretty decent horror movie about a satanic cult trying to recruit some new members. Christopher Lee, who spent most of his career playing the bad guy (usually Dracula) is the good guy here, saving his friend from the dark side (as he says: "I'd rather see you dead than meddling with Black Magic!") while Gray is the antagonist Mocata, the head of the cult.
6 out of 10 for me on this one.
