Starring Rossana Podesta, Georges Riviere, Christopher Lee, Jim Dolen, Anny Degli Uberti
Directed by Anthony Dawson(actor & director credits courtesy IMDB.com)
A young wife moves with her husband into his ancestral castle, where she learns he's descended from a famed master of torture, whom she's horrified to find may still be stalking the grounds.
British horror star Christopher Lee has a supporting role in this Italian chiller from veteran director Antonio Margheriti (credited as Anthony Dawson). It's an effective picture, with a sumptuous castle set, and some potent shocks, enhanced by well-done makeup effects. Unfortunately, the story isn't an altogether strong one, and Podesta seems an odd choice for the leading lady, in a role seemingly more suited to Barbara Steele. I still liked the film however, and would rank it with Margheriti's better efforts.
