Writer goes to visit a sculptor to write a piece about him and a carousel where he lives. the sculptor's home is called the Mill of Stone women because of all of the grotesque figures that are inside. The writer becomes acquainted with the sculptors daughter, who is sick with an incurable illness, he also becomes enmeshed in the disappearances of many local girls. Moody, eerie horror film that I've seen too many times over the years. I've ended up with I don't know how many copies of the film, and every time I do I make some effort to see it because I have it, and every time I'm surprised that its better then I remember it. Beautifully shot in a muted color scheme this is a film with a real sense of place and time, not to mention one of dread. There is something funeral-like in the way it all looks. To be certain the plot is clichéd and there is more than a good chance you'll know where its going, but it really doesn't matter since everything that makes up the film comes together to tell a good story that will keep you watching even though you know whats going to happen. One of the better Euro-horror films of the period its a film that anyone like Gothic stories should see. Forget the lurid title, and just see the film. Between 6 and 7 out of 10.
