Strong first half and mediocre second half.

Strong first half and mediocre second half.

The first half is filled with the slow building dread of the occult. There is a wonderful and unexpected climax that I won't spoil.

Then, the second half begins. And it kind of devolves into a mini-slasher story. The film recovers in the final scene which ties back to the first half.

It's def worth checking out for the fan who has already seen everything and likes genre bending.. even if it's only partially successful.

Anecdotes
Riccardo Freda always resented directing the movie.

Gaffes
No explanation why the dune buggy that breaks down at the Alexanders's and has given so much trouble is fixed and ready for a quick getaway from "The Tragic Ceremony".

Citations
News Reporter: According to the latest findings, it would seem like this gruesome massacre, strangely reminiscent of Sharon Tate's murder, could be linked to a small group of hippies in the villa.

Versions alternatives
The Spanish prints are shorter than the Italian version. In Spain, portions of the scene where Camille Keaton takes a bath are cut - in fact, all shots with nudity are edited out - and the whole "explanation" by Paul Muller at the very end of the movie is missing. Spanish prints include an end title where the Italian print have the title song on a black screen.
