Pretty good gothic horror. 4th most liked of the 5 Bava films I've seen.


"Kill Baby Kill" and "Blood And Black Lace" are my two favs of his. I also enjoyed this film, "Black Sabbath" and "Bay Of Blood".

This film is obviously older and slower (so that can take a bit more effort to get into) but the cinematography is very good. The sound/score is also good.

Yes, this movie is pretty good. I'd place it third in my favorite of the Bava films I've seen. My absolute favorites are Shock and Lisa and the Devil. But, as you said, this movie has great cinematography and a fine musical score. It also introduced Barbara Steele into the horror world who in my opinion is up there with Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Bela Lugosi as one of the all time best classic horror personalities. She is a wonderful actress who did a great job in both of her roles.
