AKA The Crimson Altar. The Crimson Cult.
"It's like a house from one of those old horror films."
Robert Manning (Mark Eden) visits a remote country house, hoping to track down his brother who has dissapeared, and is invited to stay by the head of the Morley estate (Christopher Lee). Whilst there Manning starts to feel uneasy. Well you would when the Butler (Michael Gough) tells you to leave whilst you can! He then broods on the legend of Lavinia Morley (Barbara Steele), the Black Witch of Greymarsh, when Professor Marsh (Boris Karloff), an expert in all things witchcraft, reprises the story for him.
Visually startling, this intreging story draws you in but leads to a disappointing end. But sometimes the journey is the thing, not the destination.
