| Summary |
Steeped in sadomasochism and lushly photographed in the vivid hues for which the director is known, Mario Bava₂s The Whip and the Body is a Gothic thriller that far surpasses the AIP Edgar Allan Poe films that it was intended to emulate. Kurt Menliff, the sadistic son of a wealthy Count, returns to the family castle, much to the dismay of his family, their servants, and the beautiful woman with whom he shares a fondness for the lash. When Kurt is found murdered, it brings no peace to those who had feared him, as the grave cannot contain his vengeful spirit, and he returns to torment those unfortunate enough to remain within Menliff Manor. The most deliriously romantic horror picture ever made, The Whip and the Body is a decadent masterpiece by the bloody brilliant Bava (Black Sunday, Black Sabbath, Kill, Baby⁵Kill!). |
