Review of Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966) by Dougal S — 17 Aug 2008
Atmospheric, if not historically accurate, film about a legendary character of Tsarist Russia. Christopher Lee turns in a devilishly creepy performance as Rasputin. Tall, swaggering and imposing, you will believe he's a larger than life shaman.
Remaining cast members are good but not great, although Barbara Shelly turns in another Hammer scream-queen turn as the idol of Lee's affection.
