While visiting Toledo, Spain, American tourist Lisa Reiner (Elke Sommer) experiences a feeling of deja vu when she sees an ancient mural of the Devil carrying away the dead. Hearing a familiar melody, she wanders away from her companions into a series of encounters with men who inexplicably recognize her from a past life. Hopelessly lost as night falls, Lisa begs a ride from a passing Packard, which breaks down outside a mansion where a young man (Alessio Orano) lives with his blind mother (Alida Valli) and a charming butler (Telly Savalas), who just happens to resemble the Devil from the mural! After a night of murder, necrophilia and horrific revelations, Lisa comes face-to-face with the secrets of her past identity and her connection to the bizarre rituals she has witnessed. This is the original Mario Bava film later reworked and reshot for American release as "The House of Exorcism."
色彩,光影,音乐把气氛衬托得唯美朦胧,如梦似真,人偶的恐怖故事下是贵族之家的悲剧四角恋。到头来最厉害的是洞悉一切的管家(也许是撒旦的化身),女主看似逃脱,最后一刻终究落入泥潭。
很哥特梦幻的铅黄,不过中间一大段确实无趣。
满眼都是鬼影 魔鬼 人偶操纵 一堆死尸看着你 光影梦境与梦魇童话 大牛!我看是巴娃最个人化之作
95min,奇幻的不知所云,大概类似于日本的怪谈,中国的聊斋故事,氛围搞得不错,配乐也好,可惜只能找到一首,还是个经典名曲,叫《阿兰胡埃斯协奏曲》
