When beautiful music halI entertainers begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances, Inspector Tanner is summoned to investigate. His resourceful fiancee decides to heIp him by going undercover as a cabaret singer, and succeeds all too weII, attracting the attention of the diaboIical Dr. OrIof, who, with his blind henchman Morpho, is using the skin of slain women to restore the beauty of his disfigured sister, MeIissa! ''The Awful Dr. Orlof'' is one of the last films of the 1960s to strike a genuine chord of Gothic horror reminiscent of the great cIassics of UniversaI, and the siIent masterworks of Germany's UFA. SimultaneousIy, it strikes an underlying harmonic of progress and innovation, heraIding a new age of erotic and sado-masochistic permissiveness within the genre. Jess Franco's first major film is an atmospheric, welI-photographed, amazingIy Iurid Iittle masterpiece that deserves serious attention from horror fans. The briIIiant, cacophonic jazz score and unusual camera angIes work to create a real feeIing of menace, and there's rich attention paid to period detail, and eerie Iighting. ENGLISH DUBBED or ORIGINAL FRENCH with OPTIONAL ENGLlSH SUBTlTLES
