Unlike many of Steele's other horror films, this one is in color--and the copy is in generally nice condition. As for the language, it's all dubbed into English and there were no captions. I assume it's been dubbed into other languages as well.
"The Ghost" is another Italian-made horror film starring Barbara Steele--everyone's favorite 1960s horror queen. The film begins with a rich doctor in intense pain and living out his final days through the use of two poisons which somehow work together to keep him alive. However, his wife (Steele) and her boyfriend (the guy's doctor) can't wait for him to die...so they help the process! However, after the husband's demise, they start to wonder if he's dead or if his spirit has somehow returned. They also discover that much of his fortune is hidden. And, considering that the dead man did experiments concerning the netherworld, you assume he has indeed come back to his 'loving wife'.
So is it worth seeing? Well, the film manages to have a nice spooky Gothic look. The story idea also is pretty good and has many creepy moments. I didn't particularly get some of Steele's actions near the end of the film but the overall film is pretty good--and it ended with some nice twists.
