Note : Some more gothic horror from Mario Bava here, but this film became very controversial and even banned in cinemas in Italy because of the themes of sadomasochism that run throughout. Christopher Lee is an excellent lead, doing his usual sneering evil nobleman thing, this time with added flogging, and this is perhaps as gothic as any color film has looked, with deep blacks pierced by Bava's beloved colored gels.

It's in essence a psychological ghost story, a young nobleman named Kurt returns to his father's castle in spite of having been banished after his affair with a servant's daughter led to her suicide and him breaking off his engagement to the beautiful Nevenka. In his absence, Nevenka has married his brother Cristiano, but she might still be longing for Kurt and their... special sexual practices. No one seems particularly happy to see him back, but things get even worse when he's mysteriously murdered, and then apparently starts haunting the castle as perhaps the world's first BDSM ghost, doling out nightly whippings to a confused but excited Nevenka.

This is a pretty good looking remaster, with the exception of some shots with optical effects, and it conserves the contrasty, saturated look of the cinematography very well. Both the original Italian track and the English dub sound fine. Too bad there's no commentary track, I'm sure a lot could be said about this, how it got made, and how it had trouble with distribution.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk gothic horror” for more brooding castles, moaning spirits and dark crypts, “hevk italian” for more Italian cinema, or “hevk 60s” for more from the decade when gothic horror met psychedelic color.
