aka The Devil's Bride. "I won't be back, but something will be..."
On discovering an old friend Simon (Patrick Mower) has become involved with a Satanist cult, the Duc of Richeleau (Christopher Lee) and Rex (Leon Greene) kidnap him and try to protect him from the vengeance of the cult leader Mocata (Charles Gray). Along the way they also try to help Tanith (Nike Arrighi), another rather prettier initiate than Simon.
Thus Hammer takes its first steps into the world of Dennis Wheatley and comes up with this fine adaption. Lee proves to be an athletic hero, countering the marvelously evil Gray, as the film builds to the inevitable final set piece battle. A boys own struggle of good against evil.
