Plot Keywords:
Arriving at an ancient castle, models Edith, (Luisa Baratto) Nancy, (Rita Klein) Kinojo, (Moa Tahi) and Annie, (Feni Benussi) along with publisher Daniel Parks, (Alfredo Rizzo) and writer Rick, (Walter Brandi) to put together a magazine photo shoot. Owner Travis Anderson, (Mickey Hargitay) reluctantly gives them until morning to conduct business, and the group sets about getting things prepared. During one particular shoot, a freak accident results in one of the crew's death. Trying to get a handle on the situation, Travis relates a story about the original owner of the castle, The Crimson Executioner, and had placed a curse on it for his return one day. Laughing it off as a superstitious tale, the fact that the group slowly disappears forces them to accept the story. When they learn that The Crimson Executioner has indeed come back and is set about to continue torturing people the way he had done in the past, they race to stop him before they succumb to his barbaric devices.

The Good News: This was an incredibly entertaining surprise. Among the best features is when the film goes to the castle's dungeon, where the variety of torture devices are stored. One device is a wooden pylon upon which are tied two women. Razor sharp blades scrape their cleavages and tear off slivers of black brassiere in a series of close-ups of their nearly naked bodies as the pylon rotates. As the blades slice away clothing and draw blood, the feverish joy in the experience is quite evident. He feverishly pounds the blades deeper and deeper as the women writhe in agony. One is tied to a gigantic spider web as a bizarre, mechanical arachnid closes in, as the webbed floor makes it nearly impossible to reach them. This is perhaps one of the best scenes in the film, and itself is one of the singular most creative torture methods ever. That's not to include the other torture methods as well, including the fire-pit, couch of burning coals, boiling oil and several other incredible torture devices. All of the film's final half-hour contain these moments, and they make up just about all of the film's greatness. It's such a fantastic series of brutality that has a manic sense of life and energy to them that make them so interesting and so fun to watch. That they're also so brutal and primitive gives them an even bigger sense of dread, as they're designed to inflict pain and suffering and it's obvious from the film that this was accomplished. Another really enjoyable aspect is the Gothic overtones. The castle and it's interior are gloriously Gothic, the furniture is covered with spider-webs and dust, and the walls are adorned with all sorts of creepy apparel. This also manages to throw in a little bit of giallo instincts in the film, despite the fact that both men and women are victims. Men tend to be killed quickly, while women are killed only after they have endured extreme agony. The Crimson Executioner is actually a pretty imposing villain. He dons a black eye-mask, a red skull cap, a golden medallion, and red leotards. Along with the bare chest and the insane behavior, he creates someone that is fantastic and memorable. All of these make this film all the better.

The Bad News: This one doesn't have a whole lot wrong. The only real flaw is the overt sexual overtones in the film. This is mostly predated on the fact that it spends so much time on The Crimson Executioner's naked, oily torso. The movie gives us his muscular form to contemplate, under the belief that we will derive pleasure from looking at his naked chest and his skin-tight leotards. He watches himself in a mirror as he rubs oil on his torso, his chest heaving in orgasmic delight at this own touch. The constant inferences to the purity of the body against the spiritually and physically inferior, this really manages to become very un-subtle about it's intentions and themes. This arguably homo-erotic contemplation of the male body could be something that certain audience members could become uncomfortable with, especially as there's so much of it in the film. However, this is the film's only real flaw.

The Final Verdict: A really enjoyable tale that offers up a little bit of everything, this is a rather great entry. Perfect for Gothic horror or European fare from this time period, or even those who enjoy a little sadism and torture in their films.
