The Devil's Men Full Movie

Typical of the Pagan/Satanist subgenre of horror films, this movie is quite boring. The most dangerous enemy our heroes face seems to be shoddy editing. Very Euro-70s, and very blah.

One of the most imitated horror films ever made is the original The Wicker Man, and Land of the Minotaur is exactly one of those imitators. Not even the presence of Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance could save a very bland and uninteresting movie. For starters, we go through two sets of people before we get to the main cast who's story we're going to follow for the rest of the movie. It's kind of frustrating when the film can't decide who's story it's gonna tell. There aren't any good performances in the film, not even from Pleasance and Cushing, but it's not their fault. They're simply not given anything to work with. The movie does feature an early film score from Brian Eno, but that doesn't make the film any better really. Land of the Minotaur could have had something going for it, but unfortunately it doesn't, and remains just a curiosity.

It says a lot about a cult horror film that cannot be redeemed by location scenery, the presence of two great British actors (Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasance), the lure of the Minotaur myth and a musical score by Brian Eno. None of the characters in this movie have anything interesting to say and there is a paucity of storyline to grapple with but fortunately it doesn't outstay its welcome and bore us to a death that could have been more efficiently met in the temple of the Minotaur!
