Review – Mark of the Devil (1970)

This should have been called "Soundtrack of the Devil," because the background music was the only clear presence of the Beast in this picture. A witch finder (Herbert Lom) shows up in small-town Germany and proceeds to abuse the local population. The IMDb notes say that Michael Reeves was originally supposed to direct but managed to escape the indignity by dying. He was replaced by Michael Armstrong, whose primary résumé item for a movie like this was AD'ing for Reeves on Witchfinder General. If they'd been just a little meaner to the rabbit, this would have bought itself an "avoid at all costs." Wish I'd skipped it
