Land of the Minotaur


 This is a Greek horror film from 1976. It was directed by Kostas Karagiannis and the stars include Peter Cushing, Donald Pleasance and Luan Peters. 

Three young archaeologists camp near a ruined castle until they soon vanish. A local priest has always been concerned about some disappearances but the local police inspector is not. Comes the girlfriend of one of the missing archaeologists, who is soon joined with a private detective and the priest who all go searching for the missing people. Strange things have been going on in the village with mysterious events that people don't want to talk about. 

The film is also titled "The Devil's People" and "The Devil's Men." A strange cult worships a statue of a minotaur but it's kept very hidden and everyone doesn't know anything. Peter Cushing as the baron is a fitting part even though that role was first offered to Donald Pleasance but he didn't want to play another villain again. This is an adventure film with some scary scenes that was enjoyable and worthwhile. I rate it a labyrinth 7/10.
