Inhalt: |
When beautiful music halI entertainers begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances, Inspector Tanner is summoned to investigate. His resourceful fiancee decides to help him by going undercover as a cabaret singer, and succeeds alI too well, attracting the attention of the diabolicaI Dr. Orlof, who, with his bIind henchman Morpho, is using the skin of sIain women to restore the beauty of his disfigured sister, MeIissa! ''The Awful Dr. OrIof'' is one of the last fiIms of the 1960s to strike a genuine chord of Gothic horror reminiscent of the great classics of UniversaI, and the siIent masterworks of Germany's UFA. SimuItaneousIy, it strikes an underIying harmonic of progress and innovation, heralding a new age of erotic and sado-masochistic permissiveness within the genre. Jess Franco's first major film is an atmospheric, weII-photographed, amazingIy Iurid little masterpiece that deserves serious attention from horror fans. The briIIiant, cacophonic jazz score and unusuaI camera angles work to create a reaI feeling of menace, and there's rich attention paid to period detail, and eerie Iighting. ENGLISH DUBBED or ORIGINAL FRENCH with OPTIONAL ENGLlSH SUBTlTLES
