7/10
Satisfying horror tale without exploitation of the sexual appealing of Steele properly!!!
14 November 2020
If anyone had lost the opening credits will be possible some viewers confound the Brazilian Anthony Steffen with Vittorio Gassman, both actors have a slight sameness, once more Barbara Steele starring this Italian gothic horror, which she became a Queen of this genre, the odd story set place on 19th century on a smallest village at lake shore, when a cursed statue of an old lady Belinda Montebruno was rescued from the lake and the Count Montebruno (Claudio Gora) hires a sculptor Robert Merigi (Anthony Stephen) to restore the statue from hie glorious days, the superstitious and loath dwellers disavowing such outrage, meanwhile arrives from England Harriet Montebruno (Barbara Steele) that has a strong similarity with her ancestor, outlandishly the beauty Harriet has change her personalities features for a while, also appears on the village some victims of unknown nature, gripping picture about conscious collective over a living legend and their developments, many twist came out, further the director didn't uses properly the sexual appealing of Barbara Steele which all us waiting for, just allows some prudish scenes, delivering a contrived finale, shot in black & white somehow lost the impact with a failure photography!!
