Insomniac X Mario Bava's eye for composition and spooky atmosphere elevate what might otherwise have been another run of the mill Dracula knock-off. This period chiller is rich with beautifully framed gothic imagery -- windswept ruins, foggy graveyards, witches, vampires, villagers with pitchforks -- this movie has it all, along with a few moments of startling brutality. Perfect viewing for halloween season. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Steven M It’s got that ancient look to it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review steve d Cool creepy old movie with brilliant use of light and shadow and great atmosphere. I have a crush on Barbara Steele now. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Joseph D Came upon this gem thanks to Bravo's 100 Scariest Movie Moments of all time. Normally I'm not one for B&W stuff, but this film holds up as a suspenseful thriller. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review martin f One of the best Gothic horror (and Italian horror) out there with a perfect use of Black & white, melancholic dialogues and a surprising amount of gores. The very contrasted black and white puts so much emphasis on the actors' beautiful eyes that you can feel their emotion with their stares alone. It also works very well with the gloomy decors. There is just one short scene filmed differently (with a regular black and white) that took me out for two minutes. There is a lot of old school special effects there, some may feel outdated but they are still captivating and don't spoil the creepy atmosphere. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review sean s It is sad to say that this old black and white movie from 1960 is still better than most of the offerings that I see on Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu currently. This film has neat old, spooky black and white photography and sets. Mario Bava is a great atmospheric director and was ahead of his time. Barbara Steele usually puts on a good show and does in this one. What cracks me up about these old movies is that they let the villain, usually a witch or evil wizard, ramble off this long curse upon the village and it's people instead of quickly dispatching them. It is worth a watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
