Rocky2001 is an unknown quantity at this point
Peter Cushing's preparation for each role was uniquely meticulous.

Not many actors could dominate a scene which they were in like he did - Peter Cushing's contribution always seemed more noticeable than anybody else's even if it was a minor one.

He could enhance a good script with a top-notch, perfectly judged performance. eg. "Twins of Evil", "The Creeping Flesh" "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed", "Dracula", to name but a few.

He also lent distinct credibility to rather more dubiously scripted/plotted films, eg. "The Ghoul", "House of the Long Shadows", "Dracula A.D. 1972".

Undoubtedly, I would watch any Peter Cushing film whatever it's quality was!!
