Christopher Lee stars in this Hammer production as Father Michael, an excommunicated priest out to do the Devil's work. Having entered into a pact with the Dark One, Father Michael has agreed to secure a beautiful young virgin (Nastassja Kinski) to become Satan's child-bride. However, when an occult writer (Widmark) discovers the evil Father's plan, he lies his way into Father Michael's cult to save the young girl from bearing Satan's spawn. Mr. Lee turns in one of his finest performances in this controversial shocker that turned out to be Hammer's final horror film.
