Although it stirred little notice on its US release in 1968, the late Michael Reeves' final film (of three and a half) has attained deservedly classic status as one of the darkest, most bleak historical treatments of human ignorance and misery on film.

And its hero, The Conqueror Worm." Get out the sleeping pills!
