   As many others have noted this is an odd mixture of Hammer style horror and giallo, somewhat similar (though far inferior) to Bava's The Body and the Whip.
   I really rather enjoyed the atmosphere and found the scenery, especially the castle, to be gorgeous.
   Unfortunately this was not enough to carry the story which seemed like a rough draft. The entire thing was really very strange but I've got to say that I enjoyed it quite a bit and admired the camera work which was, once again, reminiscent of that found in Bava's films, particularly A Bay of Blood- lots of close ups and fluid voyeur shots; though with an obviously far larger production budget.
   This film is at times quite beautiful and if you're into giallo you're used to the contrived and often nonsensical plots that they often employ, and so this barely detracts from the entertainment value. This movie has a vibe that I wanted to savor and after the time was up I wanted more. It kept me entertained the entire runtime. I must say that this probably came at quite the right time for me in particular as I've been getting into Hammer horror recently and decided to watch a few slashers/giallo to 'cleanse the palate' as it were- and was very pleasantly surprised by this weird hybrid.
   Also that is the least scary cat I have ever seen in a horror movie. 7 years 1 month ago
