Movie Title: The Skull The Skull is available for streaming or downloading. |
“The Skull” brings to life (no pun intended!) a most gripping dismay fable built around the obnoxious doings written down in history concerning the famous Marquis de Sade. He was supposedly not insane but simply the personification of pure detestable with his glorious looks and anti social/sadistic behaviour towards all he encountered. His life here serves as an ideal and indeed novel basis for a awe legend about the bizzare and hideous powers he serene possesses after his death in the do of his skull which is unleashed on some unsuspecting individuals in a later century.

This 1965 Amicus production stars the always terrific combination of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and explores this rather ghastly premise of life, or power, after death. Adapted from a short memoir by the very talented fright writer Robert Bloch who was responsible for such fright classics as “Psycho” and “The House That Dripped Blood” it tells of the exhumation of the skull of the Marquis de Sade which passes from one curio collector to another and through its queer and deadly powers manages to continue the fright from beyond the grave and bring grief and death to all who maintain it.
Peter Cushing plays Christopher Maitland an avid collector of antiques and curiosities such as a book that once belonged to the famous Marquis, the screen of which is made of human skin! Despite warnings from his fellow collector Sir Matthew Phillips (Christopher Lee) about the skulls rotten powers Cushing through magnificent means and corrupt comes into possession of the skull and once it is placed among his collection it starts to rob a monstrous control over his mind turning him into a killer resulting in a tragic conclusion to the record.

Ably directed by extinct Hammer director Freddie Francis this film has a very spooky premise which delivers a genuine but not gigantic legend. The film does tend to amble at times, in particular in Cushing’s dream sequence where he is abducted and taken to a mysterious court where he is almost forced to commit suicide. However “The Skull” has some very memorably scary moments.Particulary effective is the blueprint the skull seems to buy on a life of its maintain. Some of the action is shot from within the skull which is respectable in engendering an eerie sense that we are seeing what it is actually thinking. It’s movements around rooms and its appearing in different locations is also well handled. The film also boasts one of the finest graveyard sets of any Hammer/Amicus production in the flash abet sequence at the beginning when the Marquis’s skull is dug up. Burly of creepy veteran headstones, wrought iron fencing and an eerie whistling wind it is unsurpassed in creating unbiased the factual sense of doom and fright in this record. Indeed as in all these types of productions the attention to detail is pleasurable. Cushing and Lee work well together as always and it is marvelous to witness Peter Cushing, a highly underrated actor performing in a role that has a bit of menace thrown in for trustworthy measure.
“The Skull” is definately though-provoking viewing and has a theme which is unique and a disappear away from the usual Vampire/Wolfman/Frankenstein features that predominated at this time. While not a astronomical dismay classic it is smooth a reliable film that has its allotment of spine chilling situations guaranteed to preserve your interest.
You might deem that since “The Skull” stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee that it is a Hammer films production, but this 1965 wretchedness comes from Amicus Productions. Based on the Robert Bloch short memoir “The Skull of the Marquis de Sade,” this film deals more with psychological anxiety, until the somewhat funny conclusion. It seems that in the 19th-Century a phrenologist, believing there is a connection between human physiognomy and character, unearthed the body of de Sade in France to catch the skull. We then shift to “today,” where Christopher Maitland (Cushing) buys the skull for his private collection, even though his friend Sir Matthew Phillips (Lee) tells how he once owned the skull, which he believes to be possessed. Maitland becomes obsessed with the skull and apparently will destroy anyone and everyone to have it for his believe.

There are moments where this film drags, and I have worry watching the sequence where the skull starts flying around the room, but director Freddie Francis lucked out when he decided to shoot several shots from the perspective of the skull. To do this he achieve a skull mockup in front of an aeroflex camera and moved around on roller skates. The joyful result of this seeming absurdity is that the roaming camera serves to relieve involve the viewer with the developing psychological apprehension. The best sequence is when Maitland has a nightmare where he’s kidnapped by the police and forced to play Russian Roulette. Despite what you would judge to be inherent shortcomings, “The Skull” is an above average dismay film carried in substantial portion by Cushing’s performance. It is nice to glance him doing someone other than Dr. Frankenstein or Dr. Van Helsing.
