Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee) is trying to save the not just the life, but the very soul of an old family friend from devil worshipers led by the sorcerer Mocata (Charles Gray). The movie is set in the Thirties, in the English country-side. Made in the late Sixties, time has not been especially kind to the special effects, though they remain effective for the most part.

Description: Set in London and the south of England in 1929, the Duc de Richelieu (Christopher Lee) investigates the strange actions of Simon Aron (Patrick Mower), the son of a friend, who has a house complete with strange markings and a pentagram. He quickly deduces that Simon is involved with the Occult. Richelieu and Rex van Rijn (Leon Greene) rescue Simon and another young initiate, Tanith Carlisle (Nike Arrighi), from a devil worshipping cult. During the rescue they disrupt a ceremony on Salisbury Plain in which Satan himself appears. They escape to the home of Richard and Marie Eaton (Paul Eddington and Sarah Lawson), friends of Ri Set in London and the south of England in 1929, the Duc de Richelieu (Christopher Lee) investigates the strange actions of Simon Aron (Patrick Mower), the son of a friend, who has a house complete with strange markings and a pentagram. He quickly deduces that Simon is involved with the Occult.

Richelieu and Rex van Rijn (Leon Greene) rescue Simon and another young initiate, Tanith Carlisle (Nike Arrighi), from a devil worshipping cult. During the rescue they disrupt a ceremony on Salisbury Plain in which Satan himself appears. They escape to the home of Richard and Marie Eaton (Paul Eddington and Sarah Lawson), friends of Richelieu and van Rijn, and are followed by the group's leader, Mocata (Charles Gray), who has a psychic connection to the two initiates.

After visiting the house to discuss the matter and an unsuccessful attempt to influence the initiates to return, Mocata forces Richelieu and the other occupants to defend themselves through a night of black magic attacks, ending with the conjuring of the angel of death.

His attacks defeated, Mocata kidnaps the Eatons' little daughter Peggy (Rosalyn Landor). Simon tries to rescue her, but is recaptured by the group. The Duc, Richard and Peggy's family also try to save her but they are defeated by Mocata.

Suddenly, a powerful force, possibly Hecate, the queen of all witches and ruler of all magic, possesses Mrs. Eaton and puts a stop to Peggy's trance. She then leads Peggy in the recitation of a spell which kills all of the cultists and transforms their coven room into a church. When the Duc and his companions awaken, they discover that the spell Peggy was led into casting has reversed time and changed the future in their favour.

Simon and Tanith have survived, while Mocata's spell to conjure the angel of death has been reflected back on him. He now pays the price of loss of life and eternal damnation of his soul for having wrongly summoned the angel of death. Richelieu comments that it is God they must be thankful for. ... (more)

" 27.3. DUKE AND DUCHESS OF WINDSOR'S 1937 TOUR OF GERMANY - MINUN VALINTANI Lähestyin itse teemaa näyttämällä elokuvan, jossa arvokkaat aatelisbritit saapuvat paikkaan, jossa kaikki ei ole ihan kunnossa. Tyyppien vanha kaveri yrittää kovasti kertoa ettei tässä nyt ole mitään pielessä, mutta lattiaan maalatut vuohenpäät kertovat vähän muusta. Vanhaa vihtahousua palvova salaseura noudattaa erityisen hyvää menoa, ja Baphometin reinkarnaation näyttelijän nimikin on vielä teema"

"8.10. Nyt riitti, sanoi okkultisti. Kiva leffa ja noituushommat leffoissa kiinnostaa. Christopher Lee esiintyy ryhdikkäästi ja Charles Grayn naama näyttää kieron ihmisen naamalta."

"5.6. DVD Takuulaadukasta brittikauhuilua. Christopher Lee patsastelee värisyttävästi ja itse Mendesin vuohi käy näyttäytymässä vakuuttavasti. Vasemman käden polulla on niin kova meno, että tää on varmaan ollut melko shokeeraava aikoinaan. Hyvin on aikaa kestänyt tämäkin."
