Hypnotic and campy 60's Eurohorror with Erika Blanc
3 May 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Possible spoiler here, in that perhaps this film is just a little more Giallo than straight horror. If you're looking for a god-awful zombie woman crawling out of the dirt and devouring flesh, you won't find it here. You'll find instead the workings of a slightly demented and eccentric soap opera in overdrive. The main character, a wealthy playboy, combines pervert with nostalgia-choked lover-losing-his-mind. His tastes include whips and tall black boots and girls with thick red hair. There's an assortment of cagey personas, the gardener, relatives, those concerned with the poor mental state of our hero (the perverted killer) ...all of whom might gain if he finally does go over the edge. In the end, its all just a bit more mystery than horror for the more crude horror fan. The real draw to this movie is the backdrop, the 60's Eurohorror music and feel. Eclectics may find this gem absolutely irresistible.
