Review of The Sorcerers (1967) by Green P — 01 Jan 2008

"The Sorcerers" is the tale of an elderley couple who construct a machine by which they can access the sensations of younger people, and through controlling their victim, relive their youth. They seduce a young man back to their home and through him begin to experiment with an ever-darkening range of activities.

This is top stuff, worthy of an Avengers or Man From UNCLE scenario. The acting is excellent, of a way higher standard than you'll get in a modern horror, with the elderly wife particularly good as she becomes seduced by an almost demonic lust for macabre thrills.

Made in the '60s, the whole backdrop (and its music) is excellent too, with many scenes set in a mod club where the victim (Ian Ogilvy, later "The Saint") hangs out with his friends looking for new experiences and highs.

A thoroughly recommended piece of '60s horror, with a nice tight story, an atmospheric background and good acting.
