. but a lousy film . a maltin say this be christopher lee attempt to make a serious horror film . well and it be serious . too serious . the plot be silly and slow ( something about old people inhabit the body of young child to achieve immortality ) . the film be all talk talk talk talk talk talk talk about the same thing over and over again . i actually doze off a few time . the film be sooooo dull . the cast sleepwalk through this with the sole exception of peter cushing and lee . but this be probably a labor of love for both ( they often complain about horror movie be too violent . well and this have no violence . ) . avoid at all cost . unless you have insomnia . this will put you to sleep .
