Reviews:

Mediocre horror film aided by good acting. Has shades of Riccardo Freda’s/Mario Bava’s I Vampiri aka The Vampires.
I first saw this in the 80s on a rented vhs. Revisited it few days back. The film is about a scientist (Paul Muller) who tortures his wife (Barbara Steele) n her lover after catchin em red handed with the aid of his old n haggard maid (Helga Liné, much more attractive than Steele). The torturous punishment is only an excuse. The real motif is to usurp’s the wife’s property n spend time with the maid who turns very young n attractive after a blood transfusion. Told ya. Things turn bad for the scientist as the wife informs him that she had made her step sister (Barabara Steele in a double role) the nominee of the property…..

The isolated castle with its huge rooms appeared eerie, the atmosphere towards the end with the rainfall n the acting were the only good aspects. The ending seemed rushed, the ghosts weren’t spooky, there is implausibility which will make one scratch their head n the stupidity shown/done by a scientist is beyond belief.

Let Your Italian Nightmares Begin
A mad scientist finds his wife cheating on him with the butler. After torturing them with electric shock and other gruesome methods (whippings, beatings) he finally kills them. But to get the inheritance from his wife’s family, he has to marry her lunatic sister who is now cursed with the spirit of his dead wife. On top of this, we have an old women who remains young with the blood of the dead wife, who feels the dried and cold blood inside her.

Sounds good, right? And it is. The only thing that could have been better was the dubbing from Italian to English, but after the first five minutes you hardly notice anymore. The black and white really sets a mood and the fact the blood is black (because it can’t be red) makes it seem even more sinister than it had to be.

Luca Palmerini calls this one an “elegantly executed story of love after death.” Director Mario Caiano (under the name Allan Grunewald) is upstaged the same year by Mario Bava’s “Planet of the Vampires”, though I daresay the former is better. “Vampires” is given too much credit, while this film (and “Terror Creatures From the Grave”) are forgotten. Caiano has said that Barbara Steele had a face that was “elusive and obscure”, and was “an introverted sort of person.” Considering her mythical status, even at the time, this may strike the viewer as odd. It sure seemed odd to me! And let us not forget the classic, creepy organ music by Ennio Morricone.

The Madacy DVD claims to be “digitally remastered”, but is in the same poorly lit, grainy black and white as always. A better copy would surely improve this film’s legacy. (Caiano had intended the film to be in black, white and red!) Interestingly, when you put the disc in a computer, it claims to be “Last Man on Earth”.

I’m beginning to grow more fond of old horror films, especially with my disillusionment with modern horror. And this film is one of the better old horror films I’ve found. Recommended for those who are sick of Hollywood pumping horror films out for little girls.
