The Whip and the Body
1963 · TMDB 6.4 · La frusta e il corpo
Directed by Mario Bava
Disowned in the past by his father, Kurt Menliff, a cruel and sadistic nobleman, returns to the family castle to reclaim his inheritance.
Why it matters
Bava again, this time in colour, as a sadistic nobleman's ghost seems to haunt the castle where his brother's wife now lives. Corridors, tapestries and candlelight do most of the haunting before any figure appears.
