The flick's spooky and moody (with great cinematography!), both young leading actresses (Erika Blanc and Fabienne Dali) look gorgeous, and the score by Carlo Rustichelli is great, too. That's why I rate it twice:
--> Considering Mario Bava's filmography, where you find masterpieces like Black Sunday, Hatchet For The Honeymoon (yes, it IS a masterpiece!), and A Bay of Blood: 3,5 out of 5 points
--> The movie itself, considering all the crap that's been made from 1966 till now: 4 out 5 points
Trivia: you'll find the scene with the bouncing ball of the girl -slightly altered- in Lamberto Bava's A Blade In The Dark.

- The Raven, starring KARLOFF and LUGOSI - visit the "Post Your Favourite Film Stills" thread to find a micro-review and some stills.
Greetings! | The Raven is a brilliant film Prince, and i have it earmarked to watch again a little nearer to Halloween on a double bill with The Black Cat.
I guess you may have this, but the release below from Universal contains both films and three others. - Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Invisible Ray and Black Friday. |
