Gothic Hammer Horror - Italo Style!
17 January 2011
When a movie is badly dubbed into English with a horrible video and sound transfer and yet still manages to keep you interested, you know you are watching a good film. Barbara Steele stars in this Edgar Allen Poe tale revolving around a plague, revenge, witchcraft and zombies. Stylishly striking shots, creepy Gothic atmosphere, a quick moving, interesting story and some wonderfully gory special effects will keep you straining your eyes and ears while attempting to watch this goodie, which sadly, is only available via a horribly washed out, faded, garbled, splotchy print shoveled out by several discount/dollar DVDs - but its definitely worth the effort. Someone please remaster this classic. Of special interest to anyone who likes Hammer, Italo or Gothic Horror and Barbara Steele fans.
