Curse of the Crimson Altar
(GB 1968)
A young antiques dealer discovers that his brother has succumbed to the curse of a dead witch whose influence is still very much alive.
Clunky horror with striking moments, quite indicative of the Tony Tenser style with sex and even sub-James Bondian heroics in addition to the shoehorning in of horror stars who give the film a barely deserved credibility - including the arthritic Karloff in one of his last films.
Written by: Mervyn Haisman, Henry Lincoln.
Producer: Louis M. Heyward.
Director: Vernon Sewell.
Starring: Mark Eden, Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee, Barbara Steele, Michael Gough, Virginia Wetherell, Rupert Davies.
Photography: John Coquillon.
Music: Peter Knight.
CURSE OF THE CRIMSON ALTAR. Barbara Steele in one of her most provocative roles, just a pity we didn't get to see more of Lavinia.
