What mystic power did this man possess that turned men into killers – and women into animals!
Grigori Rasputin rises from humble monk to powerful mystic in the Russian court, using his hypnotic influence and ruthless ambition to manipulate those around him. As his grip on the royal family tightens, enemies conspire to end his reign of madness and control. This dramatic Hammer film blends historical intrigue, psychological horror, and charismatic menace in a portrait of power gone dangerously unchecked.
