Bored young English socialites in the early 20th century decide to have a race across the countryside. They crash in the fog and wander to the isolated house of Peter Cushing. He's got a homicidal gardener and Indian housekeeper. The mansion is decorated with icons from Eastern religions and he plays raga violin in the study. He hides a cannibalistic monster upstairs who occasionally comes down in search of victims. Reminiscent of more popular Hammer productions from the 60s, it's atmospheric if undistinguished British horror. More explanation of the background of the monster would have helped.
