I love the atmosphere of this movie...


Very effective shots inside and outside of the castle...enhances the suspense factor - Anyone know the name of the castle where filmed?

I would also love to know what castle they filmed this in. It looked great and was incredibly effective. For such a tiny budget they really made this work.

I liked how the director made use of simple effects...the snowy blizzard outside (to show isolation) and the flickering candles inside (false comfort), the way they lit up a hallway or the inside of a door and the use of shadows in the castle to enhance fear/suspense. It just gave the movie so much depth and perspective from an atmospheric point of view.

Agreed. I love And Then There Were None, and this film felt in a similar vein. My favorite of the Howlings, even if it is cheesy.

I love to love my Lisa.

The castle where where the film was shot is in Budapest, Hungary, but I can't find info on the name of the castle.

Yes, many great horror movies take place in gloomy old castles, or mansions. I think they add a great Gothic, spooky yet classic atmosphere and improve horror movies very much so. The only settings that come close are old foggy cemeteries and creepy forests.
