It is no coincidence that Peter Cushing was one of the studio's court actors and one of the best British actors of his time. It proves the same here. The same goes for Oliver Reed, who simply has the face to play conflicting characters, which doesn't apply so much in this case, but still. The film is well cast and it only adds to the overall good impression you will have of it. It is not a great terrifying spectacle, but it is good craftsmanship with interesting characters and a not so straightforward story.
