This obscure Italian horror has Christopher Plummer, Donald Pleasence and atmospheric locations — and a making of story that Severin tells in full unexpurgated detail. Never released in an English- language territory, Augusto Caminito’s brooding shocker had four directors. Its commercial chances were derailed by its deranged star, Klaus Kinski, who poses well, molests his female co-stars and sabotages what was supposed to be a high-end horror attraction. Maybe Werner Herzog could wring what he wanted out of Klaus, but the manic prima donna gave everyone else the shaft.

ROME -- After a drawn out bout with illnesses over the past several years, Italian director Alberto Lattuada, famed for his satirical take on Italy's sexual norms, died on Saturday in Rome. He was 90. With a career that spanned the 1950's to the early 1980's -- considered the golden era of Italian cinema -- Lattuado was credited with writing some of the most cutting edge women's roles and for helping to discover a bevy of female talent including Catherine Spaak, Natassja Kinski, Clio Goldsmith and Barbara De Rossi. Lattuada's best known credits include the movie La Spiaggia (1954) and I Dolci Inganni (Sweet Deceits), which pushed the traditional envelope with its exploration of a 16-year-old girl's first sexual experiences.
