Hammer had been toying with the idea of filming a Dennis Wheatley novel since 1963 but were fearful of the censor's reaction to an overtly Satanic movie. This was Christopher Lee's favourite of all his movies and he's excellent as the good guy battling black wizard Mocata ( Charles Gray ) for his friend's soul. Though looking slightly dated now it is still an excellent film which builds the tension and never lets up until the climax.
