Sean Axmaker Parallax View ... a minor beauty of the genre, a medieval revenge film with an innocent burned for witchcraft, a corrupt aristocracy, a curse, a ghost, and a sweet, sweet revenge. Dec 16, 2014 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Helped slightly by the presence of 'scream queen' Barbara Steele in a dual role.

kevin c A woman is burned to death for witchcraft. Years after a woman resembling her returns to the village to exact revenge. This was a pretty decent movie starring Barbara Steele that had a creepy vibe and a pretty good story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow, simple, and rather bleak. The characters are stale and the story is lackluster. There's some interesting concepts and scenes sprinkled throughout, and the setting is neat, but for the most part, it's another forgettable film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid Gothic horror from underrated director Antonio Margheriti. The film is really a showcase for Barbara Steele and is certainly a must for fans of her work. Taking a cue from Bava's "Black Sunday", Steele plays two roles, plotting revenge on the man who accused her of witchcraft. Well not a stellar film, it is very entertaining and well made. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor and cheaply made Italian horror film, the score is ridiculous. It does have some good camerawork, the acting is over dramatic. Not much attention to period detail. Not very scary but has a decent atmosphere. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member a bit crappy quality but still fun Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Well worth seeing for both Barbara Steele fans and Italian Gothic horror buffs alike.
