5/10
Mediocre horror film aided by good acting. Has shades of Riccardo Freda's/Mario Bava's I Vampiri aka The Vampires.

I first saw this in the 80s on a rented vhs. Revisited it few days back. The film is about a scientist (Paul Muller) who tortures his wife (Barbara Steele) n her lover after catchin em red handed with the aid of his old n haggard maid (Helga Liné, much more attractive than Steele). The torturous punishment is only an excuse. The real motif is to usurp's the wife's property n spend time with the maid who turns very young n attractive after a blood transfusion. Told ya. Things turn bad for the scientist as the wife informs him that she had made her step sister (Barabara Steele in a double role) the nominee of the property.....

The isolated castle with its huge rooms appeared eerie, the atmosphere towards the end with the rainfall n the acting were the only good aspects. The ending seemed rushed, the ghosts weren't spooky, there is implausibility which will make one scratch their head n the stupidity shown/done by a scientist is beyond belief.
