ORGÍA DE SANGRE
Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga
Peter Kleist (Antonio Cantafora) es un joven norteamericano que llega a Austria para investigar la oscura leyenda de su antepasado del s.XVI el barón Otto von Kleist, aún conocido en el s.XX por la población local como "el barón sangre" por su sadismo y su gusto por la tortura. Tras conocer a su tío el doctor Karl Hummel (Massimo Girotti) y a una bella especialista en arquitectura llamada Eva (Elke Sommer), Peter compartirá con ellos un secreto que traía consigo de américa: un antiguo pergamino con un hechizo para invocar el cuerpo y el alma del barón sangre, condenado por una bruja a sufrir una maldición como venganza por haberla quemado en la hoguera en el s.XVI. Lo que en un principio parecía una broma macabra, poco a poco toma visos de realidad para hacer experimentar a Peter, Karl y Eva la experiencia más terrorífica de sus vidas.

Gothic horror at an Austrian castle
Taking a break from his college studies, Peter Kleist (Antonio Cantafora) flies to Austria to get in touch with his heritage. He learns that his notorious ancestor was nicknamed "Baron Blood,” a sadist cursed by a witch he burned to death. After meeting Eva (Elke Sommer) they playfully read an incantation at his family’s castle and inadvertently bring the infamous Baron back to life, which is when people start dying. Joseph Cotton is on hand as a mysterious wheelchair-bound man who purchases the chateau at auction.
The original Italian title of Mario Bava’s “Baron Blood” (1972) is “The horrors of Castle Nuremberg” (translated), which describes the film in a nutshell. In style & content it places just between Hammer gothic horror and the soon-to-come slashers.
The best thing about the flick is its spooky castle ambiance, which brings to mind hallowed horror like “The Terror” (1963), “Bloody Pit of Horror” (1965) and “The Devil’s Nightmare” (1971). It’s superior to the hammy “Bloody Pit,” but pretty much on par with the other two, although I prefer them for various reasons. This one's marred by nonsensical script elements concerning the witch's curious curse & the Baron's unexplained abilities. Nevertheless, it’s a top contender for gothic horror atmosphere.
Antonio Cantafora looks like the Euro version of Peter Fonda, albeit less formidable (physically). Meanwhile feminine charms are limited to Elke Sommer, unless you favor witchy women like Christina/Elizabeth (both played by Rada Rassimov, who resembles Celine Dion). Little redhead Nicoletta Elmi (Gretchen) would grow up to be a striking minor actress.
The film runs about 1 hour, 37 minutes, and was shot at Burg Kreuzenstein (castle) and Klosterneuburg (street scenes) & Korneuburg in Lower Austria, as well as Vienna. Writer Vincent G. Fotre was a professional tennis player who dabbled in scriptwriting.
