Review of Baron Blood (1972) by Daniel B — 07 Mar 2010
Synopsis: A Bava Horror Flick in which while visiting an ancestor's Castle in Germany, Peter Kleist invokes the curse a witch cast on the Evil Baron Otto Von Kleist, causing the baron to rise from the dead to experience the agony of the wounds that killed him. Terror ensues...
PROS.
Cinematography.
Strong Cohesive Direction.
Lighting & Use of Color.
Joseph Cotten.
CONS.
The Music.
Dated Special FX.
FINAL ANALYSIS.
Mario Bava is known for his use of color and composition. And that is in display here, some really great use of each. This movie made me think of the classic EC comics stories and also the atmosphere exuded. The acting was passable. This was a fun way to spend an hour and a half. A solid piece of gothic horror.
A GOOD MOVIE.
