Orrori del castello di Norimberga, Gli aka Baron Blood (1972) Mario Bava Peter Kleist (Antonio Cantafora) an American returns to his ancestral home in Italy hoping to gain information on his family in particular Baron Otto von Kleist known to locals as Baron Blood, who legend has it died a terrible death because of the cruel and sadistic way he would torture and kill the local villagers and also had a curse put on him by a witch that would see him suffer a hundred times what he inflicted on others. Peter is met at the airport by Dr. Karl Hummel(Massimo Girotti)who brings him to Baron Blood's old Castle which he is told is to be renovated and turned into a themed hotel based on the torture chamber of the Baron to attract foreign tourists. Peter has in his possession an old parchment his grandfather gave him that says if you read it aloud in the place where the Baron died he will return from the dead .Peter shows this to Eva Arnold (Elke Sommer) a historical restorer working on the Castle and she agrees to go with him at midnight to the room where the Baron died to read the incantation A sudden gust of wind blows the parchment into the fire meaning the spell is irreversible ..Things start to get kinda spooky locals start to die and go missing and Peter and Eva believe that the Baron Blood may be back from the grave to continue his bloodlust. Cue the arrival of the mysterious Alfred Becker{Joseph Cotten) a wheelchair bound stranger who buys the castle at auction and announces his intention to live there. The killings continue and soon Eva realizes she is next on the killers list Stunningly beautiful visuals as always with Bava .The castle in particular is amazing a real bonus to any Horror Director with a visual flair .Yes there are a few holes in the plot but they didn't detract from my enjoyment The performances are a little open to debate . Its hard to know if the acting is bad or just the dubbing actors voice, but I do wish the undubbed versions of Bava's films were all available.
