As a fan of horror films, this was strangely my first Hammer purchase, and I am pretty sure I could have made a better choice elsewhere. Christopher Lees performance as Rasputin is the sole saving grace of an otherwise ordinary film, dominated by half characters, who I couldnt give a toss about. Even the Tsarina, who was Rasputins sole reason for being remembered played a realatively small role, and the rest of the Romanovs were bearly mentioned. Lees manaical laugh, one of its saving graces at the start, even started to piss me off towards the end.On the up side, he did look a bit like Rasputin. Thats the entirity of 'the up side'
