5 tombe per un medium

Quintessential spaghetti horror film; it even stars Barbara Steele, the queen of such films. Every is there, the over-blown scenery including a medieval castle, a cast of delectable victims, the couple in love, and lots mysterious, unexplainable deaths, and as a bonus a memorable soundtrack. Is it the work of a maniacal killer(of course) or something more?

5 tom be per UN medium directed by Massimo Pupillo, is a lackluster spaghetti horror (as in spaghetti western?)! Also known as Cemetery of the Living Dead, this Italian chiller thriller benefits largely from the presence of the stunning queen of horror flicks Barbara Steele. Generally a bunch of nonsense about a terrible plague, in which the victims are then summoned from the dead by an idiot for some vague reason. The transfer is good, but then film was dodge and dubbed to begin with so beware. Still for Steele fans a nice treat at this price.

Reall old and good horror with a great actors and great less directing. Original Italian horror film and really good one.

Starring: Walter Brandi, Mirella Mravidi, Barbara Steele. Director: Massimo Pupillo.

Another of those Barbara Steele Italian horror movies. I guess it's the dark black hair that always gets her cast as a heavy. She is always quite striking and a pretty good actress. This one is full of revenge, plague, and pestilence. Apparently, the lord of the manor has been mistreated or privy to the shenanigans of about five people and seeks revenge from the grave on them. One is his unfaithful wife, Steele. Each murder is set up in some bizarre way, each person murdered in an ugly, undignified way. There's always something in me that says, "Did they really deserve to die, or could he have cast them into some legal trap, like the Count of Monte Cristo. But death it is. Some of the people who die are not horrible people, but it doesn't matter. This guy has powers in the great beyond. What about his soul, one full of vengeance. Why have the spirits allowed him to be so heartless and venomous. The two good people, are a young lawyer and the daughter of the castle's former resident. She is tiresome and rather insipid. He is mostly confused. Nobody in his right mind should still be in that castle. But it is quite scary and visually impressive. It's worth an hour and a half.

Medieval plague victims return from the dead to terrorise a group of people who were enemies of a dead man with expertise in the occult.

This is another in the cycle of Italian Gothic horror films that were especially popular in the 60's. It stars the queen of Italian horror from this period, Barbara Steele. She was hardly a scream queen however. She was rarely the one doing the screaming, she was usually the aggressor. In this movie she again is no victim and like always she provides some real class to proceedings. The story itself is fairly standard stuff, with nothing out of the ordinary. It's really pretty decent stuff though if you have an appreciation for horror films with a Gothic atmosphere. There are plenty of well used locations and the mood is effective enough. I enjoyed it and recommend it to fans of Italian Gothic.

An advocate at law : Walter Brandi , arrives in a castie to sette the state of its recently deceased owner . Then there appears vengeful spectres roaming here and there with fateful and scabrous consequences.

Nice horror movie revolving around a haunted house with plenty of scary beings , eerie murders , shocking appearances and anything else . Set at a ghastly castle where happens terrifying and creepy events. In spite of of a few scenarios and its short budget the movie is acceptable thanks to the evocative photography and eerie horror set pieces. Stars the great Barbara Steele , the main figure of the Italian Gothic , here become a terror myth , including films as An Angel for Satan, The Specttro ,She Beast , Nightmare Castle , The horrible secret of Dr Hitchcock , and the classic Mario Bava film : Mark of the Devil or Black Sunday . She is accompanied by a mostly unknown cast such as : Walter Brandi, Maravidí, Alfredo Rizzo, Riccardo Garrone and special mention for Luciano Pigozzi who used to play under pseudonym Allan Collins and nicknamed the Italian Peter Lorre .

Displaying a frightening and thrilling musical score by Aldo Piga . It contains a sinister and dark photography in black and white , taking adequate use of lights ahd shades , as well as the camera positioning , being made by the pretigious Carl Di Palma , to be followed a notorious career as a great cameraman in USA, especially for Woody Allen . The motion picture was decently directed by Massimo Pupillo as Max Hunter . He was a simple artisan who directed a few films as the Spaguetti : Django Kills Softly , terror movies as : La Vendetta di Lady Morgan, and Il boca scarlatto or Bloody Pit of Horror also starred by Walter Brandt along with Mickey Hargitay. Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable and passable .
