Candy-colored gels a dead giveaway, this John M. Old is not who he claims to be. Secret passageways. Lee’s presence is undeniable, even in death. Tastefully spilled blood; designed splatter. Ghosts at the windows. Physical traces of spectral encounters. Pallbearer hood. Feel her eyes upon you. The whip writhing in the flames.

A Gothic horror whodunnit bathed in the primary colors of a pulpy horror comic and peppered with just enough S&M to justify the sensational title. Che piacere!

Mario Bava's beautiful haunting sado-masochistic surreal masterpiece is so ahead of its time. Christopher Lee puts in a great performance that is unfortunately dubbed in English even though he spoke English. Bava's film are not about logic but about atmosphere and mood. Dalilah Lavi is stunning in this.
