Did you know that Rasputin had a British accent.
I thought this film was a lot of fun, it was silly and had a number of good funny moments, they weren’t intentional sure but that doesn’t stop it from being funny.
I thought Christopher Lee did a good job in the role and managed to make Rasputin and his magical powers seem threatening. I would have liked if they had gone full John Carpenter and in the final shot when they look out of the window to see if they killed Rasputin for him to have just been gone.
There was an awful lot of focus placed on Rasputin’s way with women and whilst I suppose that makes some sense there has to be a question about who they are doing that for, it feels once again as though the audience is trying to give its teenage fans a giddy thrill.
Overall, if you enjoy the pomp and the absurdity of Hammer in its heyday then you will like this, not necessarily super scary but still a lot of fun.
3/5
Pros.
Christopher Lee
It is a lot of fun
It is over the top
Cons.
A bit too focused on pleasing the teens
It missed the chance to set up a sequel
