Rasputin: The Mad Monk
In pre-revolution St Petersburg, Russia, sinister monk Grigori Rasputin proves that he has the unearthly power to ease the deranged and heal the sick, but at what price?

He must be stopped, but how do you rid the world of a man who defies death?
Special Features:
The Mummy's Shroud
The time is 1920; the place is Mezzera, Egypt, an exotic land of mystery and ancient magic. A routine expedition is about to turn into a violent, murderous rampage that few will survive. Renowned scientist Sir Basil Walden and a team of expert archaeologists are on a journey to find the lost tomb of pharaoh Kah-to-Bey. Having ignored warnings of a deathly curse, the expedition unearths the pharaoh's final resting place with horrific consequences. A vengeful spirit has been unleashed and it wants their flesh...Directed by John Gilling (The Reptile, The Plague Of The Zombies), Hammer's The Mummy's Shroud has gained cult notoriety for its gruesome murder sequences and its stunning climax. A true terror from the tombs!
