❌
Rasputin, the Mad Monk (1966)
Directed by Don Sharp
Quick Hit
Rasputin, the Mad Monk has a clean hook and isolated moments that almost save it, which keeps it well below the line. A decent premise gets left on the table.
Full Take
The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. The craft is either locked in or hanging by a thread, and this movie knows it. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s enough to push it into BAD.
