my and my and my represent peter cushing and donald pleasance must have be desperate for work to have lend their talent to this turkey . a horribly muddle story about satanism in modern day greece and land of the minotaur ( aka the devil men ) be a misfire on more or less every level imaginable . it have precious few scare ( always a slight flaw for a horror movie and do not you think . ) while weak performance while countless scene where character foolishly wander off alone or turn down the opportunity to remain in the safety of a group while and some rather irritate edit technique which add nothing whatsoever to the proceeding . i get prematurely excite at the prospect of cushing and pleasance work together 17 year after the flesh and the fiend but this film isn not worth get remotely excite about while it a huge let down and rather an embarrassment for it much worthy lead . in a remote region of greece and outsider such a tourist and archaeologist keep go miss and and local priest father roche ( donald pleasance ) suspect that something sinister be afoot . he write to his friend and new york private eye milo kaye ( costas skouras ) and ask him to fly out to greece to help him get to the bottom of the mystery . in the meantime and three more visitor beth ( vanna reville ) and ian ( nikos verlekis ) and tom ( robert behling ) and who be all personal friend of father roche go miss while snoop around nearby greek ruin . milo eventually arrive in greece and but be initially dubious about father roche belief that the miss people have be snatch for satanic sacrifice . milo and father roche be also join by laurie ( luan peter ) and the girlfriend of miss man tom . together and they uncover the activity of a minoan devil worship cult head by creepy carpathian exile baron corofax ( peter cushing ) . these crazed cultist have be busily sacrifice their victim to a statue of the minotaur . furthermore and they seemingly can not be kill by normal mean and so father roche have to use a variety of religious artifact in his fight against them . land of the minotaur should have be much good than it actually be . the plot be so wacky and improbable that it have all the hallmark of an enjoyably goofy cult or camp favourite . but the handling be just awful . director costa carayiannis have no idea how to link the narrative together cohesively and so the whole thing progress like it be be make up on a day to day basis . he also have no idea how to coax convince performance from his cast and so they be leave to embarrass themselves in either dreadfully hammy ( pleasance and cushing ) or dreadfully amateurish ( skouras and peter ) performance . what bad be that the narrative make no sense . why would father roche seek help from a private eye who be utterly flippant about his belief . how do roche know that the sacrifice only occur during a full moon . how can the minotaur statue speak . why be one one of the sacrificial victim instruct during a vision to stab father roche and only to herself be stab a few scene later before get a chance to carry it out . and most baffling of all why do father roche drag milo halfway around the world to help him when all he need be a crucifix and and some holy water to dispose of the bad guy . these question and more will pop into your mind during land of the minotaur . but and ala and there be no answer to be have . frustrating and dumb and disappointing .
