OK but not terribly exciting, 19 January 2007
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

A man takes his new wife to his ancestral castle only to find that some creepy events are going on. Like, someone dying in the iron maiden in the basement and someone stalking the grounds in medieval garb. As time goes by the wife begins to suspect her husband of these evil deeds. There's also some FBI guy lurking about, and there's a few red herrings thrown in to boot, like Christopher Lee as a deformed servant and a somewhat sinister housekeeper. This put me in mind of other films like Bloody Pit of Horror and Creature with the Blue Hand, but it's got it's own little twist going on. Lots of jazzy/lounge-type music, and actually somewhat dull up to a point, but sort of redeems itself later in the film. It's not bad for 1963 I guess, but the title is somewhat misleading and I guess I was hoping for something more depraved. 7 out of 10.
