An incoherent mess, but judging from what was filmed, the most it could have risen to was an appalling mess. #TheFilmCrowd

A meandering poorly written load of old cobblers. Perfect Monday material! #thefilmcrowd

Well, that was ... an hour and a half of on-off atmosphere without a plot. #thefilmcrowd Cheers all and good night!

#TheFilmCrowd Well, that was very noisy. If they'd just tried filming a script rather than a series of relatively creepy gothic set pieces, it might have been good. My theory is that this was written by the guinea pigs
Night all!

This is quite a spicy one for 1963, more than a touch of S&M about it. Plus, it's from Mario Bava, so it looks gorgeous.
And sadistic Christopher Lee!

Well, that was wildly inept, extremely cheap, and it had a soundtrack that must have been chosen by the roll of a die.
Real B-Movie Monday fodder!
But there was some arresting imagery, in among the dross.
Ah, well. Onward and upwards...
