Title: History Lesson for the easily pleased.
Review: If this film is to be trusted Grigory Rasputin was a rather charmless individual whose success with the opposite sex is put down entirely to hypnosis and a rather impressive beard. Lee displays none of the monk's wicked charisma or subtlety, and the result is a rather workmanlike narrative which portrays the central character as nothing more than a brutal charlatan. History, and the influence he achieved within the house of Romanov, seem to suggest there was more to Rasputin's character than this. A missed opportunity by Hammer.
