Has anyone ever done a scorecard of how many films Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee did together, and how many times they killed each other? This one has a simple enough plot. The Maquis DeSade's skull is stolen from it's grave, but still manages to exert an evil influence on anyone who possesses it. The end of the film is a rather trippy bit with Cushing's character being exhorted by the skull to kill his sleeping wife.
Amicus film was the poor man's Hammer. While Hammer had the rich sets and good costumes, Amicus put their productions on whatever could be worked up in a hurry. Still, this film looks good and is a bit of fun.
