Rasputin The Mad Monk:Hammer film starring Christopher Lee as the titular character and what a performance he gives!! He completely nailed it and in this film more than any I felt he showed exceptional character depth-he really is very consistent in how he portrays the behaviour of the character e.g the way he uses silence like it's a weapon itself. May not appeal to everyone as it's more about plotting, scheming and lust for power rather than showcasing much killing at least until towards the end. Also I'll admit I expected it to be more campy and unintentionally funny than it actually was but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Essential for any Hammer Fans (no pun intended). :)
