- jackmeat5 juni 2025My quick rating - 6.9/10. Definitely edgy for its time, that is for sure. Bava always had a way with using music to really set up his scenes so well, at least the movies of his that I have seen. During a time when special effects were non-existent, this movie relies on good camerawork and angles to setup the scenes for the most impact. Here we have a supposed witch who is executed and has a mask driven over her face to keep her evil from ever escaping. As in so many movies after it, you know somehow this does happen. Years later, two men stumble upon her tomb and, while investigating, accidentally release her demonic spirit (Barbara Steele). As the estate and its members are slowly visited by the evil, things start happening, and people disappear, etc. Even in its simplicity, this flick still provides the goods and in the end even a nice little twist. This is the kind of movie that you watch and appreciate. If you plan on making movies at all, you also learn from something like this to see the right ways to do things (and the wrong, I don't think stumbling upon a pipe organ in the forest is very plausible.) Even just viewing it now, I was still entertained from start to finish. I will say that if the scares themselves were better, you would be jumping out of your seat with the incredible score that is used throughout.
- marlandoj8 september 20252 stars is giving this movie too much grace. Acting was bad, effects were bad, story was paper thin and predictable. I hope the studio lost money on this and learned it's lesson.
