Mark of the Devil

Mark Of The Devil

I must admit that I had heard about both of  these movies but have never seen either of them or up until 2001 heard the music from either. THE MARK OF THE DEVIL was released in 1970 and is certainly a film that has achieved a real cult status, it is notorious and known by many horror fans for being given the first ever ‘V’ for violence certificate, or was it a ‘V’ for vomit, as apparently vomit bags were handed out at screenings of the film. Either way, it was a category which it apparently richly deserved or so I am led to understand. The film is now available on DVD  from Anchor Bay video and as a matter of interest I did see a copy on the shelf in a local supermarket recently, (which just shows us how times change). Released two years after the classic British horror WITCH-FINDER GENERAL.
