If you’re after a more-in-depth look at some films and/or filmmaking techniques more than just a quick take on the films as we watch them, please have a look at our Film Analysis page.

WHAT WE THINK:

OUR SCORE:

– Falls Short (unfortunately!).

JUST A FEW WORDS:

Intro to these few words: It seems that the print we watched was abruptly cut in some of the points which obviously add to the perception we had of the film – does anyone know where it could be possible to find the uncut version in Europe?

Not our favourite of the 60s horror with Barbara Steele. It has got a classic starting point, but then it starts being fast and the points in the plot just runs from one to another without any interest being deployed. We know there’s a certain degree of fun in the way these movies handle their plots, but in this case, it’s just not enough.

PROS:

• (2) Barbara Steele(s) [although not at her very best].
• Morricone.
• Gothic Atmosphere (cinematography).

CONS:

• Abruptly edited.
• Not enough [especially narrative-wise] to keep the interest glued to the screen. There are better instances of this sub-genre.
