Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristopher Lee called this his favorite Hammer film.
- GoofsDuring the opening credits, a symbol is shown that is not Satanic, and it is also incorporated into the symbol on the priestly robes during the film. Inscribed within a Star of David, there is a six-winged seraph with the faces of a man, lion, ox and eagle based on the vision of Ezechiel. In Christian tradition, the four faces become associated with the four gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
- Quotes
Marie Eaton: [to her servant about Mocata] Show him out!
Mocata: I'm leaving.
[walks towards door and stands behind Marie]
Mocata: *I* shall not be back... but something will.
[pauses menacingly]
Mocata: Tonight! Something will come for Simon and the girl!
[leaves]
- Alternate versionsThe 2012 UK Blu-ray Disc released by Studio Canal features digitally enhanced special effects. The makers of the Blu-ray claim to complete shots which had never been finished due to budget reasons:
- Matte shot of Simon's mansion with the Observatory dome has been replaced with a CGI background.
- During the ritual at the climax of the movie a lighting has been replaced with a new CGI lightning.
- Spider sequence: Shadow for the spider has been added, some matte shots enhanced, and digital smoke added when the spider is sprayed with holy water.
- The Angel of Death sequence: A light effect is illuminating the door to cover the poor original optical effect when the angel rides through the door. The close up of the Angel of Death has a new background with flames as the original intended shot was never finished.
- The matte shots of Charley Grey's death in the fire have been digitally corrected as there were optical errors in the layers of the matte shots.
- Several other matte shots have been improved by removing matte lines.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast (1982)
Featured review
A Life for a Life, a Soul for a Soul.
A classic, vintage horror, another classic from Hammer Horror.
Expect the usual Hammer attributes, terror, shock, scares, and a lot of mesmerism. It doesn't stint on the terror factor here, even now it packs a punch, with some sinister concepts.
It looks incredible, it's so well shot, with gorgeous sets and costumes, it is very well produced.
Of course Christopher Lee is the headline, and as always he doesn't disappoint, but he is well supported, Charles Gray is terrific, it's all about the eyes, great also to see Paul Eddington.
It's one of those films that time has been very kind to, it simply doesn't date.
Excellent, 8/10.
