Rating: C- -- ...provides loads of biographical info, but saps the juice out of its subject...Crowley deserves the Ken Russell treatment. Full Review

Product Description:

Aleister Crowley was a man of mystery and many talents, and this documentary hopes to reveal some of his secrets to the world. Veteran actor Joss Ackland (THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) lends his voice to the famed occultist who may have lived from 1875-1947, but whose influence extends into the 21st century. IN SEARCH OF THE GREAT BEAST 666 features music from prog-rock pioneer Rick Wakeman.

Product Description:

"In Search of the Great Beast 666" documents the chilling life, impulses and journey of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), one of the most controversial and mysterious characters of the 20th Century; infamously known as "The Wickedest Man in the World. "Voiced by acting legend Joss Ackland (Watership Down, Lethal Weapon 2, The Hunt For Red October), this vivid portrayal unearths the barely believable and shocking facts surrounding this infamous Occultist, Spy, Poet, Dark Magician, Hedonist, Writer and accomplished Mountaineer. Was he related to US President George Bush' How was he connected to Scientology, Jack the Ripper, Winston Churchill, Hitler and Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond)' How did this man come to know so many remarkable people and why did he become the subject of fascination for generations of world-class musical icons' Crowley is not only said to have inspired the free-love movement, but also through his literature is notorious for replacing the Ten Commandments with just one: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
