Plot summary

After his beloved wife dies, an unbalanced painter who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Vincent Van Gogh goes over the edge and digs up her corpse--with the help of his necrophiliac butler--to bring it back to his castle and use it for "inspiration". He soon meets a beautiful musician who looks exactly like his late wife and brings her back to his castle. However, she eventually discovers their secret: the butler murders young women, disposes of their bodies and uses their blood--"the color of life"--for the artist's paints.

Pretty Wild, 'Out There' latter period Giallo/Horror. Way over the top as fits the time period it which it was made, but definitely with Gusto and somewhat entertaining...

This is a pretty wild one alright... Towards the end of the great Italian Giallo movement.One thing that can be said about it is that it didn't just completely mindlessly go for brutal graphic gore as many did by that time. Although there are some pretty dicey scenes in it, and although quite sleazy at times, still, it is done with a fair amount of true Gothic atmosphere and at times an engaging Surreal mood.Don't get me wrong, there are some rather extreme scenes here, but for me personally there is a difference to a degree as to the intent and the tone of something with that kind of content. In other words, you can have a coldly sadistic, very mean-spirited tone by someone like Eli Roth for example, a man who wouldn't know how to make a genuinely 'Fun' Horror movie to save his life.Or... like in this case, you can have almost the same degree of extremity, but the tone and mood are all quite different. More of a Surreal, Gothic, almost Retro dreamy atmosphere where you still kind of turn away in Horror, but with more of a 'Fun' vibe that doesn't come across as mean-spirited in its intention. So, to me, there is a distinct difference.John Phillip Law is of course very well known by this point for much better and more famous films years before like 'Danger Diabolik', and at this point he is clearly just glad to have the work. But, as Troy Howarth says in the commentary, and I do agree, is that even though his performance is Way the hell over the top, still, he'd rather see an actor fully commit even to a rather Out There role than just go through the motions. And, boy does he give it all he's got!The guy who plays his assistant was also very well known at the time and had made many films. Their interaction during the movie I thought had a special something that made it almost more sympathetic, which is Really stretching the meaning of that word when you see him do some of the things he does. I will say that, without giving away any true spoilers, the one scene where he is continuing to rape the girl after she is clearly dead I found rather disturbing. But, thankfully it is very brief. Extremely Creepy, but brief... : )So, not one I would ever highly recommend as one of the better Giallo films, not even close. But, just for pure wild effort and commitment on the parts of the director and actors, I will give it a '5'...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Particular Way of Rating:5 - Flawed, but perhaps with some entertainment value.6. A decently passable story maybe worth a watch.7. A solid film, well made, effective, and entertaining.And, obviously, you can probably figure out what above and below these would mean... : )

weird delirium

First of all, this flick is extremely hard to find, so I had to search real hard around the globe to track it down until I did in a full uncut version with irremovable Greek subtitles. And it was a VHS copy, luckily not to much damaged and English spoken. After five minutes it was already clear that this was an Italian production. But surely not one of those giallo productions. The style of filming was typical, the shots, the sound, the dubbing. You are immediately involved in the movie, a bit Gothic in the beginning with the ghost appearing in the castle. Also the unnecessary nudity in the beginning, not that we mind, had nothing to do with the flick but is/was typical Italian style. The movie itself is about a painter losing his wife and becoming mad when he sees another girl that looks really the same like his dead wife. But he goes nuts and his , let's call him the butler , is insane too. After the painter his wife died and laying in her coffin the butler starts making love to her, necrophilia. So this flick becomes weirder and weirder, they capture some girls, hang them upside down, slice their throat and use the red stuff to paint. And the butler cuts the bodies in pieces after you guess, misused their bodies. It still gets weirder so one to watch, if, as said in the beginning you are able to catch a copy.

A real oddity from a time when the most atrocious italian films were made

What do I make of this film? Well first, Sergio Bergonzelli did some of the more weird genre films during the seventies, and some of them are good too. How he managed to cast John Phillip Law for this one is beyond me, because this is probably one of the weirdest films I have ever seen. Quite entertaining and unusually gory and sleazy for being a film from 1988 (when the italians really had begun to make less extreme films since some four years back). The dubbing is awful, and the soundtrack sounds like something from a mexican Falcon Crest-ripoff. The end result is just bizarre and some of the scenes has acting and dialogue so bad you will be surprised. A mixed bag worth seeing for fans of italian 80's horror. If you like Fulci's lesser films, then chances are you are going to love this one.
