Summary:

A writer accepts a bet that he cannot spend the night alone in a haunted castle on All Soul's Eve. Once night falls at the castle, several who had been murdered therein return to life, reliving their deaths and seeking to kill the writer for his blood in a vain attempt to stay alive beyond that one night. Barbara Steele, as one of the living dead, tries to aid his escape from the castle.

Description

Castle of Blood (1964) aka Danza macabra, directed by Antonio Margheriti & Sergio Corbucci, uncut Severin 4k remaster, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original Italian theatrical dual mono, incomplete English dual mono dub, commentary track, and English subtitles.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057993/

Video encoded in two-pass 11.0 Mbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image. Audio encoded separately with Apple AAC for the highest-quality AAC sound available. Subtitles converted to VobSub and repositioned.

Note : The gothic horror wave sweeping Europe in the 60s also hit Italy, as we've seen before with a few Mario Bava films from the early 60s, but there are more, and one of the better ones is this film originally conceived by later legendary spaghetti western director Sergio Corbuccci, although for scheduling reasons, he only directed a small part of it, leaving the majority to his friend Antonio Margheriti. It was apparently shot in 15 days, which seems ridiculously short for a film that's so nicely staged and shot. The story is simple, and bills itself as being based on an Edgar Allan Poe story, which is a total lie, although Poe himself appears as a character in the film. This is mostly a mood piece, and it's indeed dripping with atmosphere in the silky, dense black and white cinematography. Also, as a bonus, this is the uncut version, which features both lesbians and nudity (but no lesbian nudity). The excellent cast includes Barbara Steele (sporting perfect winged eyeliner in the 19th century), Georges Rivière, Margrete Robsahm, Arturo Dominici, and Silvano Tranquilli.

Journalist Alan Foster is unconvinced by the Edgar Allan Poe's eyewitness accounts of the supernatural, and Lord Blackwood makes a bet he won't be able to stay the night in a haunted castle on All Hallow's Eve. Arriving at the castle, he experiences strange happenings, but then meets and falls for a beautiful woman who may be Lord Blackwood's sister. During the night, various ghosts appear to him, and he witnesses the events leading to their deaths, but the ghosts and Elizabeth Blackwood may have something more sinister planned for him than just scares.

This Severin 4k remaster looks very nice, completely clean, flicker-free and stable, with tight grain and excellent contrast. The title sequence may have had a bit more grain reduction than it should, but the rest of the film looks natural and filmic. Mono tracks both sound good, although as usual the Italian one is the Correct Way to watch this film, and the commentary track is interesting.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk gothic horror” for more foggy nights, dark castles, creaking doors, and sometimes lesbians, “hevk italian horror” for more horrific goings on from the country that produced more stylish, sexy, and brutal films than any other in the 60s and 70s, or “hevk 60s” for more from the decade when ruffled shirts, heaving bosoms, and smoking opium made a serious comeback.
