The Undead

Pamela Duncan plays a street walker who is called in to an institute being run by some men who have just returned from Tibet. They all take a trip to the Middle Ages, when the devil, played like a raffish Mephistopheles, is a general in the battle between the forces of good and evil for the soul of an earlier incarnation of Miss Duncan.

It's a fairly ambitious little horror movie from Roger Corman, with an interesting scene in which the Devil raises three witches from their burial to offer some modern dance, gratis of choreographer Chris Miller. I never found it quite involving, because it's all shot on confined stages with AIP's usual budget in this period. Nonetheless, there are bits and pieces that seem quite stylish, like everyone had been to a screening of THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER, and was feeling inspired, particularly Richard Devon as Satan. Billy Barty also has a role as an Imp.
