Inhalt: |
When beautifuI music haIl entertainers begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances, Inspector Tanner is summoned to investigate. His resourcefuI fiancee decides to heIp him by going undercover as a cabaret singer, and succeeds aIl 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, Melissa! ''The AwfuI Dr. Orlof'' is one of the Iast 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 fiIm is an atmospheric, well-photographed, amazingly lurid IittIe masterpiece that deserves serious attention from horror fans. The brilliant, cacophonic jazz score and unusual camera angIes work to create a reaI feeling of menace, and there's rich attention paid to period detail, and eerie Iighting.
