A writer, retired to an abandoned castle to write a novel, discovers that the building is inhabited by the relatives of a madman who years before raped and killed a girl, and who has now escaped from the room where he was confined. In the castle, terrible murders follow one another until it is discovered that… final twist! A horror-thriller with the unmistakable British style. The protagonists are two icons of horror cinema like Vincent Price and Christopher Lee, which may seem a bit dated due to the slow and somewhat stilted rhythms, but overall it is certainly a good horror film. For lovers of the genre.
