Overview
When his brother disappears, a man visits the remote country house where he was last seen. While the host seems outwardly friendly and his niece more demonstrably so, there’s a feeling of menace in the air with the overhanging legend of Lavinia Morley, the Black Witch of Greymarsh.

Viewing Notes
AKA Curse of the Crimson Altar, The Crimson Cult is a super saturated orgy of color, flesh and satanism. The first 20 minutes are perhaps the best, with some youth-gone-wild parties as could only happen in the ‘60s, and some great hallucinatory satanic ritual scenes.
Karloff and Lee are mostly wasted in their roles here, Karloff looking particularly old.
Still, a fun watch!
