The Crimson Cult (1968)
Directed by Vernon Sewell
When his brother disappears, Robert Manning pays a visit to the
remote country house he was last heard from. While his host is outwardly
welcoming, Manning detects a feeling of menace in the air with the legend of
Lavinia Morley, Black Witch of Greymarsh, hanging over everything, played by
Barbara Steele. Steele exudes a grandly Gothic malevolence in her scenes
and is probably the single most memorable presence in the film and
whatever power it possesses is largely thanks to her. (Great costume,
too!) It is also wonderful to see Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff
together. The Crimson Cult is an underrated slice of late Sixties horror/psychedelia.
