land of the minotaur (1976)


aka The Devil's Men.
"The old customs remain and the ancient gods live on."
A Greek village revives an old Pagan religion, the cult of the Minotaur, and kidnaps a trio of young archaeologists. It's up to Father Roche (Donald Pleasence), Costas Skouras (Kostas Karagiannis), and Laurie Gordon (Luan Peters) to save them from the hands of the evil cult led by Baron Corofax (Peter Cushing).
We've seen this all before, but what makes this work is the acting of Cushing and Pleasance. Still this just balances out to become an OK thriller at best.
