I love the dark creepy atmosphere the movie uses to pull you in right away, story is pretty easy to follow. Felt like a very long drawn out version of a stage play with some good horror elements added in, the ending definitely took me by surprise but was a cool and fun way to end the movie. Not bad at all .
Well that was rather bazaar, I felt like I was watching a very long episode of Dark Shadows (1966-1971) . Visuals were great the acting was certainly mellow dramatic and the plot was an interesting take on a classic ghost story we've all heard before. Great piece of 70's European horror. I will say Telly Savalas's performance stands out he was great in this film. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of cinema with a hint of French new wave. Be prepared for a long haul. Thanks Shudder.
Like one long dream sequence
Kinda slow but worth a watch
Maximilian be like "don't leave me with Sicilian Vin Diesel, you're so sexy..."
