Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Rainey Dawn This film is known as The Red Mark of Madness, Blood Brides and An Axe for the Honeymoon - it's a pretty good movie that will leave you guessing about a few things in the end. After watching the film, I read a handful of reviews and discussions on the film and there are a couple of takes on what actually happened - both of which I was thinking of when I was watching it. Two ideas on the ghost: 1) The ghost of the dead wife was real. She really did appear to others and later on him.2) The ghost of the dead wife was all in his mind - including others seeing and speaking of the (dead) wife. In other words, he imagined others taking about seeing her, he imagined the coffee being poured for his dead wife and he imagined the wife's sherry on the table. All was in his mind. The murders must have been real and not imagined by John. Overall a good thriller I enjoyed watching. 8.5/10

LeonLouisRicci Smooth as Silk, Director Mario Bava is as Elegant as Foreign Horror gets. He makes the best Looking Movies in the Genre, with the Possible Exception of Dario Argento. But Bava was First.This is One of His Films that is Considered, by Some, not His Best, but is a Good Representation of His Work. The Camera, like always, is the Star. Bava was One of the most Playful Filmmakers and the Cinematography is His Signature. The Vibrant Colors and the Zoom are Indicative of the way He is a Master Manipulator. The Staging and the Sets were also Something that Bava Created with an Affection, and this Movie is no Exception. Although this may be too Slow of Pace for Some, there is never a Scene or a Shot that is not Audaciously Artistic. With an Obvious Influence from Hitchcock (what Giallo type Film isn't?), the Movie Pings its Resonance to the Modern Area with Films like American Psycho (2000). Mario Bava was one of the True Auteurs in Cinema and Always was a Proud Filmmaker that Loved His Craft and it Showed in His Films Scene after Scene and Shot after Shot.

bunion_bill This was the worst thing I have seen in a very long time. Really a complete waste. It was not a horror movie, it was not a thriller, it was not gore - but it tried to be a little of everything, and it turned out it didn't succeed in any of those ambitions. The acting was poor to say the least, the sound was terrible, not to mention the non-existing lip sync. Already half way through the film you feel you've had enough of the close ups of Stephen Forsyth's face and eyes. It's not even thrilling, since you in the first five minutes get to know who the killer is. The only positive thing to say about this film is that it contained a few groovy outfits and sets but nothing worth to waste an hour and a half on!
