"I'm glad that the skull has been stolen and I advise you to leave it alone." Dr. Maitland (Peter Cushing), a rich researcher into demonology is offered the skull of the Marquis De Sade by Marco (Patrick Wymark), a disreputable salesman. His friend and fellow collector Sir Matthew Phillips (Christopher Lee) tells him it is quite genuine as it was stolen from him, but far from wanting it back he tries to persuade Maitland to have nothing to do with the skull, believing it to be possessed. Maitland ignores his friends warnings, something he will live to regret once he gains possession of the skull.
Anything with Lee and Cushing in is usually worth a watch, and this is no exception. Not the greatest horror that they were involved in, but it has its moments as the skull inflicts its sadistic way with all those that come into contact with it.
