Annoyingly slow.

Despite the presence of Niven and Pleasence, there is very little to enjoy in the acting performances of this supposedly creepy mystery. Everyone is hopelessly stuck in the extremely weak script, which is held together by illogicalities. Kerr rushes from bad to worse in a story that is told far too slowly and with distracting shots. The setting is fine, but the film itself only evokes irritation.

Bad.

This British mystery horror thriller is beautifully filmed in black and white and features many positive elements, such as an excellent cast, a constantly present creepy atmosphere, a stunning castle that is often skillfully captured on screen, and a solidly constructed story. However, it never truly becomes suspenseful because, after a while, the viewer figures out how the story will unfold. The classic *Wicker Man*, released a few years later, shares suspiciously similar characteristics. Deborah Kerr is always in top form, but the film's trump card is the duo of Sharon Tate and David Hemmings as sister and brother. Sharon Tate plays a stunningly beautiful, creepy witch here, and Hemmings plays the brother, a very odd character. 7/10

The grape harvest has failed for the third consecutive year, and the Marquis is recalled because the weather gods must be appeased. Villages You'd Better Avoid Part 221: Bellenac. Not least because Donald Pleasence is the priest there. Stylish black-and-white horror. Debut film by Sharon Tate.
