Rasputin:The Mad Monk 1966.
After being exiled by the monastery, Grigori Rasputin claims to have healing powers worms his way to the royal family of Russia through the Czarina's lady in waiting.
Decent Hammer Horror thriller/chiller with Christopher Lee as the mad monk who claims he can cure the sick with his mind and hands and hypnotise people with his eyes. This might not be the an accurate tale of his life but Lee brought out the dark side of him and made the character his own that no other actor could have pulled this off. Worth a watch 6-7 out of 10.
