Product Description:
The Skull teams up horror legends Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in a chilling, supernatural tale of murder from beyond the grave. Based on a short story by Robert Bloch (Psycho), The Skull introduces us to Dr. Christopher Maitland (Cushing), a collector of the occult. When he is given the opportunity to purchase one of the infamous Marquis de Sade, he leaps at the chance. What he doesn't know is that his friend, Matthew Phillips (Lee) is the former owner of the skull - and quite happy to be rid of it. Possession of the Skull leads to a terrifying series of nightmarish events for Dr. Maitland as he tries to keep control of his life, and as the forces of unspeakable evil bear down upon him.

Rating: - The Skull.
It's good to see that this long lost film from Amicus productions finally gets a decent dvd release. This classic British horror film from the 60's had its moments but was slightly inferior to the other great Amicus horror films that came out later during the years that followed. Whats great about this film though is it's fantastic storyline which was written by Robert Bloch and it's great cast with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee at their best and a memorable role by Patrick Wymark as a sadistic ...

Rating: - A very good 70's British Horror flick
Peter Cushing is at his clinically clean best as an ambitious and "do anything" collector of Historical Horror artifacts.
He finally lands on a horror collectors dream... the Skull of the "Marqui De Sade"
The Skull has a life force that kills at will and floats around in the midst a green fog like cloud. Once Cushings character obtains the skull all kinds of nasty horror stuff starts happening. The dream sequence is very well done. Chistopher Lee stars as the previous owner of the "Skull" ... Read More
Rating:  - Very good movie
Very good movie, with very good actors. I like this kind of films, with no effects like the modern ones, giving our mind time to act having a natural reaction infront the scary.
Rating: - Get Ahead
For the life of me, I can never work out why 'the Skull' isn't better thought of across the horror world .
It's moody, it's got inclusively great performances and a kickin' soundtrack.
Cast-wise, it's nigh on untouchable; Peter Cushing plays Maitland, a fool-hardy collector of occult 'curio's' who comes to own the possessed skull of the Marquis de Sade, Patrick Wymark is brilliantly squalid as the shady antiques dealer, Marco, Christopher Lee and Peter Woodthorpe make telling cameo-appearances, ...

Rating: - A great Amicus film
* Dr terror's house of horror, I monster, And now the screaming starts, The House that dripped blood, etc. All this films and many more from Amicus are little gems from the british golden age of horror.
It's such a pleasure now to have The Skull with, for Hammer fans, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Nigel Green (Countess Dracula), Patrick Magee (Demons of the mind), Michael Gough (Dracula), Peter Woodthorpe (The evil of Frankenstein), Freddie Francis (Dracula has risen from the grave).
* The widescreen ... Read More
