With such a superb cast, this should have been the horror film to end them all. But it isn't - perhaps too many ghouls spoil the broth. Still, this witchcraft thriller contains some lurid shock moments, very sexy love scenes, and commendable underplaying from Boris Karloff, whizzing about in a wheelchair, in one of his last major movies. The raven-haired Barbara Steele, the 'queen of horror films', is wasted in a smallish part of a long-dead witch. A far cry from the central roles in such Italian horror flicks as Black Sunday in which she made her name.
