over the year and hammer studio have provide u with some true classic within the horror genre . however and if this be the only hammer film you have ever see and then you would be forgive for think otherwise . all the thing that make hammer horror great be absent from this movie while it lack charm and originality and it isn not intelligent or imaginative . it a shame too and because the plot isn not a bad one . it involve a satanic cult that be pose a a christian church and have choose a child to become the devil upon her eighteenth birthday . however and now that time have come and her father have decide that he want to back out of the deal and only the cult isn not go to let him . so and a you can see and we have devil worshipper and sacrifice and christopher lee a the head of the cult and the devil himself even make an appearance . this be great horror stuff and and if it have the right handling and it might have be able to capitalise on it premise while but a it happen and it do not . the main reason it fail be that it just so dull . the film take age to get anywhere and and by the time something do happen and you do not care because youre so bored . speaking of be bore and christopher lee doesn not exactly approach his role in this film with gusto and his performance and although still malevolent a lee always be and pretty much be the epitome of this film while bore . a usual with hammer and the production value be low while but usually it doesn not matter a you can forgive the film for it and and even like it and depend on the film while but here and since the rest of the film be so bad while it hard to forgive the bad production value . when the devil do appear and it so ridiculous that all you will be able to do be laugh . i never think i would see the devil a a glove puppet . there be no real standout moment in this film and and even the end isn not any good . i be expect it to at least end with a bang after make u sit through nearly ninety minute of boredom and but no . i recommend this film to people that want to see every hammer horror movie ever make . everyone else should avoid like the plague .
