Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well mounted Hammer chiller, with some good scares
Review: Occult writer John Varney (Richard Widmark) must protect a young nun (Nastassja Kinski) who is being hunted by a satanist (Christopher Lee)- one of the 2% of satanists who Varney is "not sure about"; the other 98% are apparently kids playing dress-up- who wants to turn her over to the Dark Side (Chances are George Lucas saw this movie).
Based on one of Dennis Wheatley's "Black Magic" novels, this Hammer production is let down by slow pacing but is still watchable. There are some good shocks and effective low-key chills. Lee's masterfully chilling performance evokes an aura of quiet menace. For rock/metal fans, you may be interested to know that Lee's line from this movie "It is not heresy, and I will not recant" appears on the White Zombie track SUPERCHARGER HEAVEN- but of course you ought to already know that. More useless trivia. The movie is also known as CHILD OF SATAN.
