• Classic Italian Horror — for Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga
  Written by Wehrwolf1349 on 05.01.2010

  Peter von Kleist is travelling to Austria to see the Auction of an old castle of one of his ancients, Otto von Kleist, who has been called the Blood Baron, cause he tortured and killed a lot of people.
  With the young student Eva Arnold, Peter tried to get the Baron back to live with using an occult spell.

  Mario Bava is creating a wonderful movie in a breathtaking ambience, the old Museum Castle Korneuberg. This castle is crammed with antiques and is prepered affectionate with spiderwebbs and stuff like that.
  The takes in the castle are typical for Bava, razor sharp defind colours and long shot on the eye area. The takes outside in the fog, are wonderful corned (In a great scene, where the Baron follows Eva).
  Lots of Screams, and, a few, but caring detailled, homicides.

  After all, it is a really nice movie to see, so don't miss it!

• Once he was human, like you and me... — for The Fly
  Written by Wehrwolf1349 on 10.01.2010

  The scientist André Delambre made a sensational detection in his laboratory. Powered by his own success, he gets careless and a made a mistake, with horrible outcome for himself and his family...

  In this movie from Kurt Neumann, made in 1958 with stars like the distinctive Vincent Price, David Hedison (as André Delambre) and the beautiful Patricia Owens, has been a very interessting theme regrounded. In a time, when telephones had dial plates, electricity and technical revolution frightens people, the Invention of Mr. Delambre is amazing.
  But, when you try to figure out, gods plan of living, you have to be very careful and so, in the movie, the DNA of André and a fly get mixed in his transformator. The half human, half fly monster looks great! But not even the mask of the fly head and arm is great, the sounds when the monster slurps his dinner is fantastic for the viewer. You know what is happening, but you get shivers, while thinking about it!
  The monster dies and at the end the brother of André and the detective found the other part of the experiment. The fly with a human head, captured in a spiderweb and the spider ends this story...
