Leave your thoughts about Rasputin: The Mad Monk.
| New TimesGregory WeinkaufEnds a little abruptly, but overall this is cinema and Lee is a genius. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt features Christopher Lee in one of his more powerful performances. |
| Slant MagazineEric HendersonLee's riotous, low-throated interpretation of the back-stabbing mystic is something to behold. |
| User ReviewL J"Open your eyes, woman! You're cured." Filmed back-to-back with Dracula - Prince Of Darkness, using the same sets and with the same principal cast - this is (for me, anyway) the better of the two films. It's hard to convey using mere words just how GOOD Chris Lee is in this! It must've been so gratifying for him to have such a meaty role to get his fangs into, what with the concurrent Dracula film consigning him to a non-speaking role. Rasputin may not be as iconic a role as the Count, but Lee's performance excels even that! His really is an absolutely magnetic presence. Barbara Shelley turns in another solid job, here (and never looked finer, quite frankly). Legendary comic actor Brian Wilde (Barraclough in Porridge) has a small role at the beginning of the film. I remember reading somewhere that Christopher Lee's family actually had ties with the real-life Russian royals depicted in the film, which is pretty interesting. If it's true. |
| User ReviewBrian KClassic Christopher Lee performance in an under rated film. |
| User ReviewEleanor KYou will need wine and chocolates to join in with this absolutely fantastic film! Enjoy Lee at his finest! |

| User ReviewTTT C(***): Thumbs Up This movie works so well because of a great performance by Christopher Lee. A solidly entertaining Hammer movie. |
| User ReviewAl MHistorical accuracy aside, Rasputin the Mad Monk is a delightful little Hammer film that merges their love of historical setpieces together with their adoration for horrific plotlines. Rasputin has both, but most of all it features Christopher Lee in a rare lead role. While Lee is often the draw of films like Dracula, The Wicker Man, etc., he still takes a backseat in the plot and only shows up in certain moments in the film. Rasputin corrects this in an absolutely wonderful fashion--Lee is front and center throughout the film in a role that is almost preordained for him to fill. His towering, creepy presence fits perfectly with the booze guzzling, dance-crazy, megalomaniac that drives this unforgettable Hammer film forward. |
| User ReviewGordon BAwesome fictional telling about Rasputin. Christopher Lee gives a truly incredible bad ass performance as the mad monk! |
