The Long Hair of Death.

Helen Karnstein's mother is falsely accused of murder and being a witch and sentenced to death by burning and curses the town before she dies. And then Helen(Barbara Steele) gets chucked off a cliff into the river to stop her exposing the truth. afterwards, her younger sister Elizabeth gets taken in by Count humboldt and is forced to marry his evil son Kurt. but Barbara Steele later rises from the grave to avenge her mother.

From Anthony M Dawson who made that classic video nasty Cannibal Apocalypse comes this top notch gothic chiller in the style of Mario bava's Black Sunday. and although it is a little dragged out in parts, it has nice style with all the old Italian atmospheres in the creepy old dusty castle with all it's secret passage ways and crypts.

Barbara Steele gives another good performance too, and looks as beautiful as ever in her period costumes, and even giving her fans a couple of scenes of brief nudity as well.

another very good release from 88 films. and i give this highly entertaining film with Wicker Man type ending 86 out of 100.
