Inhalt: |
When beautifuI music hall entertainers begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances, lnspector Tanner is summoned to investigate. His resourceful fiancee decides to help him by going undercover as a cabaret singer, and succeeds aII too well, attracting the attention of the diabolicaI Dr. Orlof, who, with his bIind henchman Morpho, is using the skin of slain women to restore the beauty of his disfigured sister, Melissa! ''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 Universal, and the silent masterworks of Germany's UFA. Simultaneously, 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, weII-photographed, amazingIy lurid little masterpiece that deserves serious attention from horror fans. The briIIiant, cacophonic jazz score and unusual camera angles work to create a real feeIing of menace, and there's rich attention paid to period detail, and eerie lighting.
