Theatre of Death / Rasputin: Mad Monk
1966, 174 minutes, Rated M
Welcome to the Theatre of Death in Paris, where a troupe of young actors specialize in gore-drenched Grand Guignol plays directed by the cruel and domineering Phillipe Darvas (Christopher Lee). But when a series of horrific murders plague the city, the trail of bodies leads directly to the theater and its cast of the damned. Is the sinister Darvas responsible for the gruesome crimes, or is the stage set for an even more ghastly surprise?
Rasputin The Mad Monk
In the early twentieth century Czarist Russia, Rasputin (Christopher Lee), a wild-eyed peasant monk, mysteriously demonstrates his healing powers by saving a woman's life and asking only for wine and Bacchanalian celebration in return. Soon Rasputin uses his evil charm and powers to become increasingly manipulative and violent. Ferocious, devious, sensuous and other-worldly, this uncouth peasant ingratiated himself into the lives of the sophisticated royal class.
