The Devil's Men (1976)


Crown International Pictures
Directed by Kostas Karagiannis
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Scorpion Releasing)

Devil worshipers in Greece kidnap tourists for their sacrifices. Peter Cushing is their leader. Donald Pleasance is a priest who tries to stop them. The director gives himself a long nude scene with a pretty blonde. A statue of a minotaur speaks in a deep and menacing voice. Men in robes chase people. Brian Eno's atmospheric soundtrack is little more than background noise. Paul Williams sings the title song which runs several minutes after the credits are finished. I have the feeling the actors took this job for the free trip to Greece.
