Rasputin The Mad Monk (1966) - Clip: Everything Else Is Darkness (HD)

"One of Lee's finest roles ... it seems like there is literally nothing that the man cannot do." – The Telltale Mind

Hammer Films' dual reputation for screen shock and flamboyant costume adventure meld in this tale of the real-life "holy man" whose evil charm held the fate of an entire nation in its grip.

In Czarist Russia, Rasputin (Christopher Lee), a peasant monk, mysteriously demonstrates his healing powers by saving a woman's life and asking only for wine and a Bacchanalian celebration in return. But soon Rasputin uses his evil charm and powers to become increasingly manipulative and violent. Ferocious, devious and other-worldly, this uncouth peasant ingratiates himself bit by bit into the lives of the sophisticated royal class ... Christopher Lee's multi-layered performance as Rasputin rates as one of the best portrayals in any film.

Christopher would be great as a hypnotherist i would love him if he didn't become a actor or a opera singer, such smooth calm deep voice,

Even rasputin’s own daughter told Christopher that he captured her father’s dark charisma extremely well (despite not looking like Rasputin that much)

I hope all the macroblocking in the dark is just from YouTube.
