Description

The Skull (from a story by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho) is a fearsome, finely acted and moody tale of Gothic horror. The skull of the Marquis de Sade has been taken from its grave, bringing terror to those who own it. Demonologist Christopher Maitland (Peter Cushing) is eager to add the piece to his occult collection. Despite the warnings of a friend (Christopher Lee), he's got to have it. And does he ever get it.

    In my opinion, The Skull is one of the best British horror movies of the 1960s. It has stylish direction by Freddie Francis, great performances by Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Patrick Wymark and a wonderfully creepy story based on a short by Robert Bloch. Unlike other Amicus Productions, the film contains one story rather than four or five. Despite this, the film is a classic of its kind.
