Orlok, Earth, Germany Synopsis With fangs like splinters, claws like knives, the Beast of Orlok gobbles lives. With brimstone breath and eyes aglow, he'll eat your soul - to Hell you'll go! Germany, 1827. The town of Orlok is under a curse, haunted by the memory of a spate of grisly murders that shattered the community twenty years before. At the time, townsfolk blamed the legendary Beast of Orlok, a nightmarish creature from medieval folklore. And now, it seems, the Beast has returned. As the killings begin again, the people of Orlok are understandably suspicious of two strangers newly arrived in their midst. The Doctor and Lucie must face their darkest fears as they find themselves plunged into a decidedly grim fairytale.

The Beast of Orlok is a fun and exciting horror romp through the Schwartswald. At first, I found the light tone a bit weird, seeing as it was clearly going for horror - a carriage, attacked in the dead of night by a horrible monster lurching from the shroud of the trees - that was until I realized that this story is a send-up of the Golden Age of Horror, with oodles of camp, horrifying monsters, devious schemes to upset the natural order of society and pearl-clutching wives one horrifying revelation from fainting into their husband's arms. If you see it from that perspective it is really, really good fun, I could honestly see Moffat doing an episode like this - y'know, in a good way. 8/10 Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
