Quick Hit

Castle of Blood (aka Danza Macabre) either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands comfortably above water. Style keeps the blood warm.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. When the image is sharp and the menace is clean, it lands. Italian horror style carries a lot of the value here: texture, atmosphere, and a taste for beautiful decay. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
