Overview
When his brother disappears, Robert Manning pays a visit to the remote country house he was last heard from. While his host is outwardly welcoming, and his niece more demonstrably so, Manning detects a feeling of menace in the air with the legend of Lavinia Morley, Black Witch of Greymarsh, hanging over everything.

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!
