All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Rasputin, The Mad Monk (1966)

Starring: Christopher Lee
Director: Don Sharp

Premise:
A Russian monk with the power to heal the sick and control minds rises to power.

My Take:
Hammer Studios take on of histories most intriguing figures. They put their own spin on history making it slightly creepy.
Well acted by the great Christopher Lee.

Rating: In the middle
