One of those movies where literally nothing works: the performances, the score, the effects, nothing. I didn't realize Wally Veveers was involved with the effects but that explains why the devilish cloud of smoke looked so familiar. Gary Hendrix's excellent "Paperbacks From Hell" has me in the mood for some vintage eighties pulp horror so I might just track the novel down.BLB SAGINAWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923468943601200455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-65168775015625858922018-02-12T23:18:18.930-05:002018-02-12T23:18:18.930-05:00It's a fortress that typically served as the i...It's a fortress that typically served as the inner stronghold of a castle in Medieval times.

All I really remember about it was that it was interesting looking and that the awful and inappropriate score was very distracting. A few years ago I saw it on TV, but the image was cropped from the original Cinemascope aspect ratio, making it completely unwatchable. If it were available in its original format I'd probably give it another shot.MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515927050827397245noreply@blogger.com
